Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 5 oranges
  • 1 grapefruit
  • 36 whole cloves
  • 1 750ml bottle full-bodied fruity red wine
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar or Swerve Sweetener, Brown
  • 5 3-inch cinnamon sticks
  • 2 star anise pods
  • 1/4 teaspoon whole allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground mace
  • 1 750ml bottle ruby port

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Remove any stickers on the oranges and grapefruit. Wash and dry the fruit. Place fruit on a cookie sheet or baking dish. Slice each piece of fruit and stud the oranges and grapefruit with six cloves each.
  • Place fruit into the oven and cook for 45 minutes until the bottom of the fruit starts to turn brown. Turn and cook for another 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, place brown sugar and 3 cups of wine. Heat on high for 4 minutes. Remove and stir to dissolve brown sugar.
  • Pour wine and sugar mixture, remaining wine, and remaining spices into the slow cooker.
  • Cut up the fruit into quarters. Place fruit and any cloves that may have fallen out into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours.
  • Remove pieces of fruit and press out juice and wine back into a slow cooker using a lemon squeezer.
  • Strain wine mixture over a fine sieve into a large bowl. Pour strained mixture back into the slow cooker.
  • Pick out cinnamon sticks, rinse off the pulp, and place sticks back into the slow cooker.
  • Add port to slow cooker. Reduce heat to the low setting for 1 hour. Then reduce setting to warm. (If your slow cooker doesn’t have a warm setting, keep it on low. If Smoking Bishop seems too hot to safely drink, turn off the slow cooker.)
  • Ladle Smoking Bishop into individual punch glasses or mugs. Enjoy!
