Method
- Place the wine, spices and orange zest in a pan over a medium-high heat and bring to just below boiling point. Set aside for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to infuse. Strain through a fine sieve into a clean pan, then place over a medium-high heat and bring back to just below boiling point. Add the cranberry juice and sugar. Stir for 2-3 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and keep hot.
- Meanwhile, soak the gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes. Squeeze to remove any excess water, then whisk into the wine mixture until dissolved. Divide among 6 wine glasses, then chill overnight until softly set.
- Whip the cream, stem ginger syrup and cinnamon in a bowl to soft peaks. Spoon the cream onto the jellies, decorate with the chopped ginger and dust with cinnamon.
