Eric's Norwegian Glogg

(Actually a combination of recipes I found on the Internet)
Ingredients:
*** 4 Cardamom , pods , whole
     (If you can only find cardamom seeds, and
     not the pods, this info might be useful:
     -There are about 20 seeds in a pod.
     -There are about 80 seeds in a 1/4 teaspoon.)
*** 1/4 cup Cinnamon , broken
*** 25 Cloves , whole
*** 8oz Candied Ginger Slices
*** peel of 1 Orange
*** 1 1/2 cup Raisins
*** 1 cup Slivered Almonds , blanched
*** 2 cups Pineapple Juice
*** 2 liters Port
*** 2 liters Red Wine
*** 750ml Brandy or Aquavit

Mixing instructions:
Take seeds out of cardamom pods, crush the seeds and put with cinnamon,
cloves, ginger slices, orange peel, raisins, almonds in a stainless steel
pot (not aluminum or copper, porcelin is OK). Cover with red wine by 1 inch and
bring to a boil, then remove from heat and cover. Let stand at room
temperature overnight (or at least several hours). Add remaining ingredients
and heat but do not boil. Drink!!!
