When I was a child I remember my father concocting a wine-based drink in the fall and winter months that he would let "age" a few weeks. It had fruit (raisans, et al.) and some other kind of liquor (brandy or whiskey). I thought he called it GLUG. Anyone know of this kind of drink and maybe have a recipe to share with me (us)? Tanks (or maybe mugs?) alot --- Daniel M. O'Brien (ihnp4!ihlpa!dob) AT&T Bell Laboratories IH 4A-258, x 4782 Naperville-Wheaton Road Naperville, IL 60566

O'Brien (ihnp4!ihlpa!dob) A Christmas tradition in the Carr household: GLOGG (Swedish Hot Spiced Wine) Ingredients 3.75 liters of ruby port wine 1.5 liters of brandy 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white seedless raisins 1 package blanched almonds spice bag: 11 whole cardamom seeds 6 whole cloves 1 cinnamon stick Procedure Mix wine, brandy and spice bag in a large pan and bring just to a simmer and add brown sugar. Simmer for 35 seconds but NEVER bring to a full boil. Allow glogg to cool, place spice bag into large container and pour in the glogg (divide spices into smaller bags if more than one container is used). Sample daily and remove spices when spiced to your taste (usually 2 - 10 days). Marinate raisins and almonds in a small jar of glogg. To Serve Warm glogg to a simmer on the stove. Place an almond and a few raisins in the bottom of each cup and add the hot glogg. Add some good thoughts, good music and good friends. NOTE: Up to 0.5 liters of the brandy can be substituted with grain alcohol. Be careful, though! A drink this potent is damn near lethal! Dave Carr ihnp4!ihuxb!dccarr
