Smoking Bishop - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 unpeeled sweet oranges
1 large unpeeled grapefruit
1/4 lb sugar (a little over 1/2 cup)
30 cloves
1500 ml strong red wine (2 bottles-about 51 oz)
750 ml port wine (1 bottle-about 25.6 oz)

Preparation

Wash the fruit and bake it on a foil lined baking sheet until it becomes pale brown, turning once.
Heat a large earthenware bowl and add the fruit. Stud each fruit with five cloves.
Add the sugar and the red wine, and store covered in a warm place for about a day.
Squeeze the fruit to extract the juice, and strain into a saucepan.
Add the port and warm thoroughly, but don't boil.
Serve in heated glasses.
Note: There are many suggestions for variations in this recipe, including the addition of star anise and cinnamon sticks.
There was also a suggestion to bring the mix to a boil, simmer for an hour, and add brandy, brown sugar and orange juice.
