Fruited Mulled Wine

A warming drink with a delicious taste! The dried fruit infuses the drink with a fruity flavor while the honey adds just a touch of sweetness.

Ingredients

8 dried Calimyrna figs cut into quarters

8 dried apricots, cut into quarters

1/2 cup dried cranberries

1/2 cup dried currants

1/4 cup brandy

4 tablespoons GOLDEN BLOSSOM HONEY

1 (750 ml) bottle Cabernet Sauvignon

Honey Tips

Honey Bees Need Water

To keep their hives strong, beekeepers must place them in locations that will provide abundant nectar sources as well as water.

Directions

In a medium saucepan combine dried fruits, brandy and honey. Bring to a simmer and cook over a low heat for several minutes, stirring often. Remove from heat. Stir in wine and refrigerate up to 24-48 hours to allow flavors to blend.
To serve, strain out dried fruit, gently warm wine (do not simmer or boil). Reserve fruit for another use.
