"A Merry
Christmas, Bob” said Scrooge with an earnestness that could not be
mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. "A merrier Christmas, Bob,
my good fellow, than I have given you for many a year! I'll raise
your salary, and endeavor to assist your struggling family, and we will
discuss your affairs this very afternoon over a bowl of Smoking Bishop,
Bob!” Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol |
Beverage Cookbooks Cookbook Reviews In Drinking With Dickens by Cedric Dickens, who was the great-grandson of Charles Dickens, I discovered Smoking Bishop was Victorian hot spiced port wine. Besides the Bishop, there were other clerical drinks in those times: Archbishop-claret, Cardinal-champagne and Pope-burgundy. We served Smoking Bishop at a holiday party and got a chuckle out of seeing one of our guests tip the pot to get the last drop - and we’d made a double batch to begin with! There are variations of Smoking Bishop, but this is the one we used. As with all alcoholic drinks, moderation is key. Enjoy, Smoking Bishop is served in my historic romance novel, The Goodbye Lie, at the New Year's celebration to welcome in the year 1883! |

You’ll need:
Stick the whole cloves into the oranges. Poke the oranges several times with a fork so the juice will seep out while cooking. Place the oranges in the pot. Add the red wine, sugar and cinnamon sticks. Cover and cook on low or simmer for 3 1/2 hours. Add the bottle of port. DO NOT BOIL at any time. Heat the mixture for another half hour to warm the port. Serve warm straight from the pot. Garnish with extra orange slices or wedges and individual cinnamon sticks, if desired. Serves 10. This recipe is easily doubled.
