Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup White wine or water
1 cup Sugar
12 ounces Cranberries
6 Whole allspice
1 Cinnamon stick
1 Lime -- quartered and seeded
1 Knob fresh ginger -- 1 inch
thinly sliced
2 cups 80-proof gin

This is for folks who like to toast their feet by the fire while the snow
falls outside. A little seasonal cheer... It also looks like a good way to
use up those nasty little berries that always seem to pop up in every ones
kitchen this time of year. This is from Narsai David, a Bay area
restauranteur, chef and food critic.

Heat wine or water with sugar until dissolved and boiling. Place
cranberries, spices, lime and ginger in the bowl of a blender or food
processor. Add boiling syrup and process for 30 to 40 seconds. Pour into a
container with a tight-fitting lid. Add the gin, cover and set aside for 1
or 2 weeks. Strain through a fine sieve.

Makes about 4 cups.
