Autumn Squash Mulled Wine
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 oranges
  • 2 lb. butternut squash, peeled, seeded and roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp. whole cloves
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 2 -(750-ml.) bottles red wine (we used Zinfandel, but Merlot or Claret would work great here too)
Instructions
  1. Peel oranges and squeezed their juice into a medium sized saucepan. Add half of the orange peels to the pan and reserve the rest of the peels for garnish. Add cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and 1 ½ cups water to the saucepan and cook over medium heat.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until squash is tender and translucent, about 40–45 minutes.
  3. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and return to saucepan. Add wine and keep warm over low heat. Serve in mugs and garnish with reserved orange peels.
