Sangria ...

Now, for the amusement of everyone...
Let's make a drink! (I'm the sister that doesn't drink often enough).
I have found that, basically, Sangria is a drink made of wine & fruit.
That there is no great "secret" or "special" recipe to making it.
Your friends & Family will love it!
The best way of making this recipe is to use fruits that are "in season", not "out of season", & your favorite wine.
As the saying goes... "If your not going to drink it, you shouldn't cook with it"
(although I have found that sometimes that's not so true, anyway...)
You can find alot, & I mean alot, of Sangria recipes...

But here is my simple Sangria recipe:

2- large bottles dry red wine (about 3-4 liters total)
2- 20 oz bottles of lemon/lime soda
1 orange
1 lime
1 lemon
3/4 lbs of grapes
2 peaches

Wipe the orange, lime, & lemon off & then slice them into rounds. Peel the peaches & slice them into small wedges & then half the wedges. Remove the grapes from the stems, rinse, & drain.
Place all into a punch bowl (or something that will hold liquid for drinking), then pour the wine over the fruit (just enough wine to cover the fruit) & let this sit covered in the fridge for 4-6 hours. Just before serving add the lemon/lime soda, & the rest of the wine & enjoy!

As a variation...
Our Grandma Dot use to take a bag of frozen blueberries & frozen peaches, & mix them with her favorite wine! very quick & easy.

Enjoy!
