ingredients
- 750 ml aquavit
- 750 ml Burgundy wine
- 1 cup sugar (heaping)
- 10 whole cardamom pods
- 5 whole cloves
- 3 peels oranges
- 4 figs
- 1 cup blanched almond
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 cup raisins
directions
- Stir together Aquavit and Wine with sugar into a large pot. Wrap remaining ingredients in cheesecloth, place in pot with low heat for a couple of hours (or crockpot all day). Serve hot and discard cheesecloth wrapped ingredients.
- Variation 1: For a milder version and more servings, you can double the wine.
- Variation 2: Vodka can be used in the place of Aquavit (Aqvavit) but it will not be as flavorful.

Made this specifically for a neighborhood gathering, & although I'm not a drinker, by all acounts from those who were there, your dad definitely knows his glogg! I did have a small taste myself, I I DID like the fruity flavors that came through! Thanks for the interesting recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]1Reply
