Macerated Berries

Used in the Zinfest 2007 recipes:
 

1 bottle Zinfandel (the good stuff you drink)
6 pints black berries and raspberries (mixed)
1 orange
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 cinnamon stick
2 (1 by 3-inch) orange peel strips
¼ tsp black pepper

In a large saucepan, combine Zinfandel, orange zest and whole orange, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, and pepper.

Bring mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Allow mixture to reduce to about 3/4 cup.

Add berries and cook until berries break down.  Mash berries until completely broken up. 

Remove mixture from the heat and cool.

Remove cinnamon stick and orange peels before passing through strainer.
