Mulled Wine

If your holiday celebrations have gotten out of hand and you forgot to finish off the wine, this is a great recipe to leftover wine that you would otherwise pour down the drain.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

• ⅓ cup sugar

• 10 whole cloves

• 2 large cinnamon sticks

• 1 bottle dry red wine 750

Materials:

• Saucepan

• Stovetop

• Strainer

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries and sugar. Cook until lightly simmering, about 5 minutes.

2. Puree blueberry mixture until smooth, then add in cloves and cinnamon. Continue lightly simmering for 20 minutes.

3. Pour wine into the pot and reduce heat to a very slow simmer (don’t boil), at least until wine is warm (you can let it sit on low heat anywhere from 15 minutes to 3 hours).

4. Strain before serving.

5. Serve warm optionally garnished with a slice of orange and a cinnamon stick.
