"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Aunt Grace made this for Thanksgiving one year when she came to visit my family and I. I absolutely loved it, and now I request it for my birthday every year. It always reminds me of her. (A Tidewater recipe).
