Remarks
Many people think that the most important thing in mulled wine is the spices, but for me it's more the wine-fruit mix which gives the delicious hint of acidity. Then you can add whatever you want: vanilla, cinnamon, aniseed, pepper,...
For a quick mulled wine, forget: vanilla sugar, grapefruit and cinnamon.
For a glittering presentation, serve in glasses (not mugs) with the edges dipped in white egg then caster sugar.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, in a closed jar.

Chocolate tart
As you can see, there's very little added sugar in this recipe, so it's a very chocolatey and bitter-sweet tart. November 16th 2013309 K 15 2 hours 30 min.
European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me). August 15th 2010247 K5 2 hours 30 min.
