This is for folks who like to toast their feet by the fire while the
snow falls outside. A little seasonal cheer… It also looks like a
good way to use up those nasty little berries that always seem to pop
up in every ones kitchen this time of year. This is from Narsai
David, a Bay area restauranteur, chef and food critic.

Heat wine or water with sugar until dissolved and boiling. Place
cranberries, spices, lime and ginger in the bowl of a blender or food
processor. Add boiling syrup and process for 30 to 40 seconds. Pour
into a container with a tight-fitting lid. Add the gin, cover and
set aside for 1 or 2 weeks. Strain through a fine sieve.

Makes about 4 cups.
