Sadly, Father-in-Law passed away this year. In amongst his papers, we found a number of winter drinks that I thought I would share. All of these recipes came out of a Washington Post article in the 70s. First, there is the drink that Ebenezer Scrooge offered his employee, Bob Cratchit, on Boxing Day. It calls for quite a bit of ruby port for 12 servings! I haven't tried any of these yet, so would love to hear what you think.
Smoking Bishop (12 Servings)
- 2 oranges
- 10 to 12 cloves
- 12 sugar cubes
- 1 lemon
- 3 bottles of ruby port
- Grated nutmeg
Stud oranges with cloves, then roast in a preheated 400-degree F over for 30 minute. Rub sugar cubes into the skin of the lemon. Quarter oranges, put in a saucepan with the sugar and juice of the lemon. Add port and heat to boiling. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve in heated mugs with a dusting of nutmeg.
