Crockpot Mulled Red Wine Recipes

CROCKPOT MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in crock pot, except for rosemary.
• Heat on low for 1 hour minutes. Monitor to make sure it does not come to a simmer.
• Switch to warm, or turn off the crock pot and cover to keep warm while serving. If adding rosemary, add now.
• Serve with a rosemary sprig or cinnamon stick to garnish.

SLOW COOKER MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Put all the ingredients (except the slices of orange) in a slow cooker on low for 1 1/2 - 2hrs until hot. Ladle into heatproof glasses and serve with slices of orange. Using the 'keep warm' setting (if your cooker has one) will ensure the mulled wine stays hot during the party.

TRADITIONAL MULLED WINE IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Make the tea. Let it steep and cool slightly. Add to crock pot. (I added about 4 cups).
• Cut the lemons and oranges into slices. Add the red wine. Add the brandy (cognac could be substituted).
• Add sugar to taste.
• Add cinnamon sticks and cloves.
• Heat in the crock pot for approximately 3 hours, or until warmed. (I was turning the pot on/off when the wine got too hot/cold during the evening).
• Note: Never let the wine mixture boil, or it will spoil. I used home made wine that our friend had given us. I used Ginger Tea, but any herbal tea could be used ~ or ~ for a different taste, use orange or pineapple juice.
