  This is for folks who like to toast their feet by the
  fire while the snow falls outside.  A little seasonal
  cheer...  It also looks like a good way to use up
  those nasty little berries that always seem to pop up
  in every ones kitchen this time of year.  This is from
  Narsai David, a Bay area restauranteur, chef and food
  critic.
  
  Heat wine or water with sugar until dissolved and
  boiling.  Place cranberries, spices, lime and ginger
  in the bowl of a blender or food processor.  Add
  boiling syrup and process for 30 to 40 seconds.  Pour
  into a container with a tight-fitting lid.  Add the
  gin, cover and set aside for 1 or 2 weeks.  Strain
  through a fine sieve.
  
  Makes about 4 cups.
