Today I was feeling very merry, so I got to work creating this recipe. I was torn between the categories of food and diy, but I ended up putting it in diy because it's not really a food, and you do it yourself, as opposed to buying a mass produced candle that frankly every man and his dog has in their homes at this time of the year.
8 cloves
1 bashed up cinnamon stick
An orange, quartered
A grated nutmeg
1/2 cup Cranberries (dried or fresh, depending on what you can get)
1/2 cup mixed fruit
2 tsp vanilla paste
1/8 cup brown sugar
4-6 pieces of crystallised ginger
Water
Place all of the ingredients into a non stick pan, and boil it on a low, low heat for as long as you like. Mine lasted 6 hours, and I topped up the water pretty frequently.
Thanks for reading & stay tuned for more!
