Good Morning Everyone! I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend. Mine consisted of christmas markets, more christmas markets and plenty of mulled wine to go round – a necessary measure to keep your toes warm!

Delicious as the range of Mulled wine on offer at the markets is, I thought I would try my hand at making my own! It is very easy and pretty foolproof. Goes perfectly with some traditional mini mince pies while watching Miracle on 34th street.

Ingredients:

2 bottles of Red wine (Chianti is a good one)

250 grams Caster Sugar

2 Clementines

2 lemons worth of lemon peel

8 cloves

1/2 a vanilla pod

3 cinnamon sticks

12-14 grates of Nutmeg

3 Bay Leaves

What you will need:

A big metal pot

Wine glasses

Wooden Spoon

A stove

Method:

1. Place the sugar in your pot and place over a MEDIUM heat and stir (High heat will burn/caramelise the sugar)
2. Peel the clementines and lemons and add the peel to the sugar
3. Squeeze the clementine juice into the pot and stir
4. Add the cloves, 1/2 a vanilla pod, the cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and nutmeg to the pot and mix again
5. Add enough red wine to cover the pot mixture and bring to the boil – leave for 3 minutes
6. Add the rest of the red wine, reduce to low heat and leave to stew for half an hour
7. Serve hot in wine glasses with mince pies

I hope you guys make this homemade mulled wine – its so easy and takes no time at all – tastes a million times better than ready-made bottle bought stuff!

Enjoy!
