Red Wine Sangria


I also made Red Wine Sangria for the shower. I used the Martha Stewart Living recipe as a base but like I always do I messed with it a bit. I double the amount of fruit to soak so I could make two pitchers. I bought a dry Italian red table wine and chilled it. I cut up apples, pears, grapes, lemons and blood oranges for the fruit and soaked it overnight in a Ziploc with about 4 teaspoons superfine sugar and 1/4 cup brandy (and honestly a little rum too). I mixed up the fruit and wine just before serving with a little more sugar and about 2 cups Ceres Passion Fruit Juice (I was a bridal shower so passion was a theme).
