California Raisins


List of Ingredients




Peel from 1/2 large orange, cut in a spiral strip
1 teaspoon whole cloves
3/4 cup California raisins
1/3 cup whole blanched almonds
12 small sugar cubes or 1/4 cup sugar
2 cinnamon sticks, halved
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1 bottle (750 milliliters) dry red wine
3/4 cup aquavit or vodka


Recipe



Stud orange peel with cloves; set aside. In small bowl combine raisins, almonds, sugar cubes, cinnamon sticks and cardamom. Toss gently to coat raisins with cardamom. Add orange peel. In 3-quart non-reactive saucepan combine raisin mixture with wine. Bring to simmering over low heat; simmer 5 minutes. Add aquavit; simmer 2 minutes. Ladle into heatproof punch cups or mugs, including some of the raisins and almonds in each serving. Serve with spoons.



To give glögg mix as a gift: Place studded orange peel in spiral form on rack in 250° F oven. Bake until dry, about 45 minutes. Cool; add to raisin-spice mixture. Seal in plastic bag; tie with ribbon. Include instructions for making glögg. Give with a bottle of wine, if desired.



Makes about 1 quart.
