Over the years we always had available the following 5 Fresh Juices that were always available.
Each Christmas we always had Three of these receipes available for those who wanted to have them.
The following year we would change them around with 3 fresh receipes.
And Christmas thereafter we would rotate again.

Those all sound good maybe I will try them for one of our gatherings, but I will not be able to indulge I am allergic to raw fruit and vegetables...so if anyone tries these let me know if you like them .

[Ervserver]

only raw...so if they are cooked you are ok?

[xmaslilly]

Erv..
yes they have to be cooked and I mean cooked... not steamed , but..boiled to death. even canned veggies have to be cooked real good.
It sucks.

There is a bottle drink by TGIFridays called Orange Dream. Already pre-mixed and all you have to do is freeze it or pour it over ice. Tastes just like an orange push up pop.

Wow that Orange Dreamcicle cocktail sounds really good. When I was a kid those dreamcicle ice cream on a stick were so good. They still are, but they aren't as good as they used to make them.

I am looking for a recipe for gluwine. the U is suppose to have two .. over it. The drink was a warm red wine and spices. I had it in Germany many years ago and would love too make it next saturday night for a party. Does anyone know how to make it?

[Christy Carol]

Here is one

a bottle of red wine
handful of whole cloves
handful of whole star anise
sections of one orange
about 2tsp ground cinnamon
about 1 tsp nutmeg


Directions:
I always played with the amount of ingredients until it tasted like I thought it should. First just get the wine warm without letting it boil. Then add in the spices and orange sections. You might want to squeeze a few of the orange sections to make sure the juice gets out and mixed in well. Then let it simmer without boiling for about 15 minutes or so. After that I would pour it through a strainer to get the whole spices out. Serve warm.

And another

Ingredients (serves 2-3 persons)

1 bottle of dry red wine (750 ml)
one lemon
2 sticks of cinnamon
3 cloves
3 tablespoons of sugar
some cardamom (or ginger)
Directions
Heat the red wine in a pot (don't boil). Cut the lemon into slices and add to the wine. Then add the cinnamon, cloves, sugar and a little cardamom (to taste). Heat everything for about 5 minutes - do not boil - and let stand for about an hour. Before serving, reheat and strain. Serve in prewarmed glasses or mugs.

Thank You Christy I had it in Germany a few years back and really have a hankering to have some more. The doc told hubby he should drink some wine not a lot for his sinuses. I think this would work and he won't feel left out at the party.:c39:
