Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 teaspoons black peppercorns
  • 2 cups frozen or fresh cranberries
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry Riesling, divided
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 1 cup Benedictine liqueur

Instruction

  • Place peppercorns in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add cranberries, honey, and 1 cup Riesling and simmer over medium heat until thick and syrupy and some of the liquid has evaporated, about 7 minutes.
  • Smash cranberries with a fork. Add the remaining wine and sage, and simmer for about 5 minutes. Strain the mixture, smashing the cranberries once more, then discard solids. (At this point the strained mixture can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
  • To serve, add the Benedictine liqueur and warm over low heat until steaming. Serve in warm cups.
