Last weekend brought with it a Gipsy Kings concert out at Wolf Trap and the need to use up the last of the fresh peaches, nectarines, and blackberries that I picked the previous weekend. So I thought...What better way to spend a night under the stars listening to flamenco than with a lovely batch of sangria to sip?
The wine that I used is from a Michigan winery (Tabor Hill) and is not available outside of the state. So if you're in Michigan, I encourage you to get some - and if you aren't in Michigan, call on your friends who live or visit and ask them to bring you some.
Sangria (serves 4-6, depending on how much you all drink!)
1 bottle Tabor Hill demi-red or other semi-sweet red wine of your choosing
1-2 fresh peaches, peeled / pitted / diced
1-2 fresh nectarines, pitted / diced (you can leave the skin on or remove it)
1 handful fresh blackberries
1 20 oz. bottle Sprite / 7-Up (regular or diet)
Mix wine and fruit together in a large pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for several hours or overnight. Add Sprite / 7-Up just prior to serving. Serve with a ladle or long-handled spoon so that folks can get the fruit!
