MARCHé DE NOëL VIN CHAUD - FRENCH SPICED MULLED WINE
Whether you have just come of the ski slopes or you are wandering around a French Marché de Noël, a Christmas Market, this is JUST the beverage to warm the cockles of your heart, as well as your frozen fingers and toes! Vin chaud is hot-spiced wine served the French way, with a slug of Cognac of course! It's a traditional welcome drink and is very popular where I live in the South West of France; especially at Christmas and New Year - and you'll find it in all of the Christmas Markets at this time of year. Ladle this mulled wine into some heavy cut-glass punch cups; or for a real French feel, use an assortment of old wine glasses and to avoid them cracking, place a teaspoon in to the glasses beforehand - this takes the heat away from the glass. One word about the wine, please DO use a good wine, and not what is known as a "cooking wine" - I find that Beaujolais works well or a fruity Chinon.

Steps:
- Wrap the cardamom pods and cloves in a piece of cheesecloth or muslin.
- Mix the rest of the ingredients, apart from the cognac, together in a large saucepan. Add the bag of spices. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over a low heat. Do not allow the wine to boil.
- The mulled wine is hot enough when the sugar has dissolved. Add the Cognac to the saucepan when the sugar has dissolved and ladle the mulled wine through a tea strainer (or colander) into punch cups, mugs or glasses.
RED WINE CRANBERRY SAUCE
We were feeling festive when we started our holiday cooking, but a bottle of wine was a bit more than we wanted to drink. I added half a cup to the cranberry sauce, in place of juice, and a new recipe was born! -Helen Nelander, Boulder Creek, California

Tips:
- Choose the right wine. Use a fruity red wine with a high acidity, such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot. Avoid wines that are too sweet or tannic.
- Use fresh spices. Whole spices, such as cloves, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg, will give your vin chaud a more intense flavor than ground spices.
- Simmer the spices in the wine for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Add sugar or honey to taste. Vin chaud is traditionally served sweet, but you can adjust the sweetness level to your liking.
- Serve hot. Vin chaud is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat it over low heat before serving.
Conclusion:
Vin chaud is a delicious and festive drink that is perfect for holiday parties. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it sweet or spicy, there is a vin chaud recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a warm and comforting drink, give vin chaud a try. You won't be disappointed!
