Christine came across the following recipe in the LCBO Food and Drink magazine. I understand that this publication can be a bit challenging to find at times so for those who may have missed it (or will) and for our own future reference on a chilly, rainy, spring day at the cottage, here is...The Canadian Tundra!
To a slow cooker or large pot, add 2 cups (500 mL) Canadian whisky, 1 cup (250 mL) fresh or frozen cranberries, ½ to ¾ cup (125 to 175 mL) maple syrup (to taste), 2 cups (500 mL) cranberry juice and 3 cups (750 mL) fresh (cloudy) apple juice.
Add 1 orange sliced in wheels, 1 lemon sliced in wheels and 3 cinnamon sticks.
Heat, but do not allow to boil, allowing the liquid to warm for at least 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Spoon into cups and garnish each with a cinnamon stick.It is said to make nine servings. But that doesn't mean it has to serve nine. There's a difference. ;-)
For some time now I'd thought of adding a page specific to some of our more common and successful meals at the cottage. Thing is, unless you're prompted to go, you're unlikely to think to check the page. Or you'll check it for a while and if nothing is added to it for months, you'll get out of the habit or assume it's never updated.
So I'll go a different route. For those unfamiliar with blogs, posts can be labelled for quick subject reference. This one is the first to have the "recipe" label attached to it.
So if you ever needed to find this post to make this no-doubt delicious drink, you can click on "recipes" in the right column as opposed to scrolling back through all my nonsense or trying to remember that it was posted in January 2016. That's one relatively easy way, anyway.
If anyone ends up making it at some point, share some reviews and/or adjustment suggestions please.
