- Glogg, that means "glow", derives its name from the glow that is created during the burning of the sugar over the drink, and the warm glow that it creates when imbibed.It is a traditionally served in the Swedish Christmas punch bowl and is appreciated as well by Danes and Finns as it helps to warm the cold climates during the long dark Winter season.
- It is often made exclusively of dry red wine, with the most potent ingredient, Aquavit, being omitted. Glogg spices, pre-mixed in convenient pkgs accompanied by instructions are sold in many Scandinavian delicatessen stores, but if you're not shopping in Nordic climes this Winter, it's easy to prepare your own using the recipe given here.
- In a large decorative kettle, pour Claret, or possibly wine. Add in whole cardamom seeds, and orange peel. Poke holes into the figs with the cloves and insert them. Add in the cloved figs, cinnamon sticks, and raisins. Stir in the almonds. Cover and simmer over low heat till the mix just begins to boil, then remove from heat. Carry the kettle away from the stove.Place sugar cubes into an all metal sieve that has a long handle. Wearing a silicone hot mitt or possibly other long-armed oven mitt, dip the sugar cubes into the hot liquid to moisten them. Light sugar with a match and allow to burn. Continue dipping sieve into liquid till sugar has melted completely into the glogg.
- Cover kettle if you need to put out the flame and when you are done. Put mix through the sieve to strain. Cool.
- Keep in closed bottles.
- Heat glogg before serving, but don't boil. Serve hot in wine glasses with a couple raisins and almonds in each glass.
- WARNING: Flaming alcohol can be dangerous! Never attempt this anywhere near a stove, especially one with a gas burner. Consider practice tests outdoors in a safe place where there are no children or possibly pets till you become familiar with this technique, or possibly alternatively, skip the step where the alcohol is lit and simply dissolve the sugar in the drink.
- This can be prepared and served successfully using a Crock-Pot.
