Pour the red wine and honey in a small saucepan and stir until well combined.
Add the oranges, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and star anise. Heat the mixture on low-medium heat until just before a simmer, or it’s hot to the touch.
Reduce the heat to low immediately and cover. Watch carefully to ensure it doesn’t simmer or boil.
Cook for 10 minutes, then add the rosemary and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Keep a close watch and reduce heat if needed.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
- Dry red wines with high alcohol content such as California Merlot, Zinfandel or Cabernet Sauvignon work best for this recipe.
- Be careful not to allow this to simmer or boil as the alcohol will vaporize above 173F.
- Remove from heat immediately upon cooking and keep warm with a lid over the pan.
