So you just enjoyed a few glasses of mulled wine that you made with your Fuse and Sip wine kit and have all this beautiful wine soaked garnish leftover. Don’t throw out the garnish! Why not cook it up for dinner:)

Here is an easy and delicious recipe that uses up all those delicious pieces of oranges, cranberries and spices.

I love using fruit when making stews or any stove top dishes especially in the winter. This one will not disappoint and it's easy:) The dish has a nice citrus flavour with earthy and beautiful winter spices - Star Anise, cloves and cinnamon round the dish out and gives it that slightly moroccan flair but with a little winter edge.
