On warm summer weekend evenings I enjoy occasionally sipping on a good Sangria. There are some bottled products that you can buy, but those never really caught my fancy. A friend shared a great recipe with us several years ago that I am recreating here. It's easy to make and delicious!
4 cups semi-dry red wine, about one 750ml bottle
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar (more if you like sweeter Sangria)
1/4 cup brandy
1/2 orange, cut into thin rounds
1/2 lemon, cut into thin rounds
1 apple, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 pear, cored and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
In a large pot or bowl combine the wine, orange juice, brandy and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Cover and chill 3 to 24 hours.
Pour chilled Sangria in a glass pitcher and add the fruit. Serve in tall glasses over ice.
This will make 8-10 servings.
