Calories 643kcal
Ingredients
- 500 g frozen blackberries
- 200 g honey or sugar
- 750 ml water
- Zest from 1 organic orange
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 2 whole star anise
- 6 cardamom pots give them a crush before adding
- 1 vanilla bean sliced lengthwise
- 10 whole cloves
- 1 bottle red wine
- A generous splash of rum I used around 6 cl
To serve
- Blanched almonds
- Raisins
Instructions
- Combine water, blackberries and honey in a pot with lid and turn into a boil, reduce heat and let it simmer for 10 min. Use a handheld immersion blender to pure the blackberries into the water. Pour everything though a sieve, use a spoon to squeeze all the liquid out of the berry pulp.
- Pour the blackberry lemonade back into the pot. Add all the spices and lemon zest and let it simmer under a lid for 20-30 min. Add the red wine and rum and gently heat the glögg without boiling it, or you will lose the alcohol. As soon as the glögg is warm enough, strain through a sieve, and either serve it straight away with blanched almond and raisins, or pour on sterilised bottles.
