Mulled Wine With Clementines Recipes

CRANBERRY-CLEMENTINE MULLED SANGRIA

Steps:

• Bring the allspice, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and 2 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove the saucepan from the heat, add the tea bags and let steep for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bags, then return the mixture to a boil. Stir in the maple syrup and cranberries, and cook for 2 minutes. Let cool, then transfer the mixture to a 3-quart pitcher.
• Add the wine and liqueur to the pitcher, and stir to combine. Add the clementines and ginger, and cover the pitcher with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the sangria for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• To serve, fill 8 glasses halfway with ice, then pour the sangria and fruit into each glass.

THE BEST MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Add the cider, cloves, cinnamon, allspice and peppercorns to a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until reduced by a third, about 10 minutes.
• Strain the cider through a sieve into a clean pot, then discard the spices. Add the red wine, port, half the clementines and half the apples. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low to keep warm. Garnish cups of warm mulled wine with the remaining fresh apple and clementine slices. (Do not serve the steeped fruit from the pot.)

CLEMENTINE MULLED CIDER

Steps:

• Bring cider, peels, cinnamon stick and cloves to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Keep warm until serving time. Strain into mugs; add rum, if desired.

MULLED RED CABBAGE WITH CLEMENTINES

Steps:

• Stud the whole clementine with the cloves and set aside.
• Mix the remaining ingredients in a big saucepan or flameproof casserole. Cover and cook for 30 mins, then snuggle in the studded clementine, cover again and cook for 30 mins more until the cabbage is tender. Season and eat hot or at room temperature.

EASY MULLED WINE

Steps:

• Pour the red wine into a large saucepan. Add the clementine, cinnamon stick, star anise, dried figs, cloves and black peppercorns. Heat very gently until simmering, then turn off the heat.
• Fish out the whole spices and peppercorns with a spoon, then stir in the brandy. Ladle into mugs, or heatproof glasses to serve. You could drop in a slice of clementine to each.
