Jim's Holiday Glögg ('glug')

  • 1 bottle of port
  • 1 bottle of sherry (just sherry, not cream sherry)
  • Handful of raisins 
  • Handful of whole almonds (I use more)
  • 12 cardamom pods
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 5 figs cut up into small bite size pieces
  • 1 whole orange rind - I like to pare it as one long continuous curlicue
  • 1/4 c sugar

Stir together; heat until it steams BUT NEVER BOIL (you’ll boil off the alcohol). Serve hot. 

Extra glögg will keep on the stove for a few days and can be reheated in the same pot. Just don't boil it.
