Recipe ingredients and directions:
3 dried figs
8 cloves
1 peel (3×2") Seville bitter orange
6" cinnamon stick
8 almonds
45 raisins
1/8 tsp cardamom seed
0.5 litres beer
0.5 kg sugar
1 litre of vodka or other ~40 % (100 proof ?) grain spirits
0.75 l full bodied red wine
Method:
Boil the spices in the beer for 30 minuites, filter out the
liquid through a paper filter (coffe filter). Pour the sugar in the
liquid and let it melt through stirring. Heat will speed up the
melting. Add 1 litre of vodka and 0.75 litres of full bodied (but
cheap !) red wine. Stir and let it cool.
Serve hot with peeled almonds and raising
