I think it’s interesting that this is listed as a Beltane recipe. My family has always made variations of them with different types of wine for Yule and Samhain. Usually white or creamy fruit wine for Yule and red wine or sangria for Samhain.
I’ve noticed over the years that a lot of the recipes overlap.
