Use a little cheese cloth to make a tiny bundle of 1 tsp. of cloves, and tie it with a string. You can also use a tea egg if you don’t have cheese cloth.

1.

In a sauce pan, add 2 oz. Cabernet, 2 oz. orange juice, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 4 oz. sugar, orange zest, 2 cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and the bundle of cloves. Simmer over MEDIUM heat. About 3 minutes.

2.

Add 6 oz. cranberries (fresh or frozen) and allow to simmer for 10 minutes on LOW, stirring occasionally.

3.

Remove from heat and pour everything into a bowl to refrigerate for 1 hour. Don’t worry if it appears a little runny. It will gel as it cools. Remove cinnamon sticks and cloves after 1 hour.

4.

Once cooled, serve.
