    Serves 8-10
    1/2 gallon apple cider (I have used unfiltered)
    3/4 bottle of gewurztraminer (or other white wine which is not too dry)
    4-5 sticks of cinnamon
    4-5 cloves
    1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
    1 vanilla bean split lengthwise
    3-4 tablespoons honey (depends on how sweet the wine you're using)
    cup or so of fresh cranberrries (of cubes of apple if not in cranberry season)

    1. Put the cider and all spices in a pot and bring to a boil.
    2. Reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.
    3. When on low heat add the wine. Do not boil again so the alcohol won't evaporate too much, just let it warm.
    4. Add the cranberries and simmer for a few more minutes until they color the liquid a bit. less

      Blackberry Cornmeal Cake

      You can substitute an equal amount of fresh blueberries for the blackberries; be sure to rinse and dry them thoroughly before scattering over the batter.

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
