Thursday #296- Happy Birthday to YOU

[Randi]

It’s getting rather chilli here too, so I just had to bite the dust and change my short sleeves to long. But then, it’s after 6 PM!

For you who are getting cold, I think a good traditional hot Christmas Glögg will go down well! Anyone wants to share?

Christmas Glögg

Ingredients:
1 bottle of redwine
1⁄2 liter Glögg extract
1 stick of cinnamom
5 cloves
2 handfuls of chopped almonds and sultana’s
2 dl port

Heat the wine with the extract, cinnamom and cloves. Don’t let it boil!
Strain away the cinnamon and cloves and add the almonds and sultanas to the pot - just before serving, add the port.

The proper way to do it though, is to let the sultanas “paddle” in dark rum for a few months before you make it. Some add a little vodka too.

This should keep you warm! Oh, and put your dancing shoes on!

I remember that stuff from Sweden. It definitely was something to get accustomed to, flavor wise. I'll have some for old-time's sake! How about some lutefisk and cream sauce with it too?!
