Lazy Winter Mulled Wine

I originally made this on one of the first really cold nights of winter; I wanted something warm and that would make my house smell like the holidays, so I improvised this out of things I had at home.

Delicious! I actually used SImply Orange juice w/pineapple, and 3 RW Knutson mulling spice bags, instead of cloves. Also, used almost 2x the sugar, probably because there was no straight pineapple juice. Don't bother buying expensive red wine, buy a strong red under $10. We used Barefoot Zin. I put all the ingredients in crock pot set on high until the wine was nice and hot, and then put it on low. Smells great, too! I've made 3 batches since 12/21!Reply
