Nettles in Port

You can make adjustments here—but this is what I have made, for almost 20+ years. and it's good!

Ingredients

  • 1 litre or approx 1 quart of Port
  • 4-6 handfuls of nettle leaves fresh is best
  • 8-10 prunes
  • 2 cups raisins
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • Optional: cranberries dried apricots, dried or apples, dried.

Instructions

  • You will need a large glass jar with a lid.
  • Add all the ingredients above and then add the port.
  • Allow to steep for 4-6 weeks.
  • Ensure that all plant material is covered with the port.
  • Strain.

Notes

Ensure any/all of these dried fruits are dried without chemicals.
I serve this in small cordial glasses as a mineral-building tasty treat.
