1. 1

   Unwrap the orange and drop it into a deep bowl.

2. 2

   Add the cinnamon and allspice and mash everything together.

3. 3

   Pour in the boiling water, cover the bowl and let it stand overnight.

4. 4

   Pour the mixture into a sieve set over a bowl and press the solids to strain off as much liquid as possible.

5. 5

   Discard pulp and strain the liquid again, this time lining the sieve with cheesecloth.

6. 6

   Measure the liquid; if you don't have 1-1/2 cups, add water.

7. 7

   Pour the liquid into a preserving pan.

8. 8

   Add pectin and stir to eliminate lumps.

9. 9

   Set the pan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.

10. 10

    Boil it hard (at a boil that can't be stirred down) for exactly 1 minute.

11. 11

    At once add the wine and sugar.

12. 12

    Lower the heat and stir the mixture until the sugar has dissolved, 2 or 3 minutes; it should not simmer, much less boil.

13. 13

    Remove from heat.
