Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 c White wine or water
1 c Sugar
12 oz Cranberries
6 Whole allspice
1 Cinnamon stick
1 Lime, quartered and seeded
1 Knob fresh ginger, 1 inch
-long, thinly sliced
2 c 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.
