Mulled Zin (Holiday Zinfandel Wine Punch) image

One of the things I love about the holidays is mulled wine. :) Here's a nice version featuring roasted oranges, which gives the punch a really nice flavor.

Time 55m

Yield 1 750ml bottle

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 small tangerines or 2 small satsuma oranges, scrubbed well (divided)
12 whole cloves
1 (750 ml) bottle zinfandel or 1 (750 ml) bottle other favorite full bodied red wine
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup honey, to taste
1 teaspoon brown sugar
10 cinnamon sticks, divided (3-inch long)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
6 whole allspice
1 ounce brandy or 1 ounce cognac, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Push the whole cloves into one of the small oranges until it's completely"studded," then place the orange in a baking dish and roast it in the oven until it's soft, which will take between 35 to 40 minutes.
  • In a non-reactive saucepan over medium heat, combine the roasted orange, zinfandel, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, 4 of the cinnamon sticks, nutmeg, allspice, and the brandy or Cognac.
  • Raise the heat to medium-high, stirring constantly until the honey is melted and the sugar is dissolved, which will take about 4 minutes, but DO NOT LET BOIL (the flavor of the wine and spices combination will deteriorate if the mixture reaches the boiling point).
  • Strain the mulled wine and pour into six coffee glasses or cups, slice the remaining small orange into 6 slices, and garnish each cup with a cinnamon stick and orange slice.
