Combine All Ingredients and Cook Over Low Heat for 15 - 20 Minutes
Pour the wine into a large pot and add all the ingredients and stir. Cook over low heat for 10 - 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Cook until the liquid is warm and almost boiling and all the flavors have blended. Ladle into punch glasses, Irish Coffee cup or any small glass or cup and serve. Don't serve any of the fruit or cloves in the wine as they give up their flavors in the cooking process.
