Wednesday Weekend Warm Up

W
Winter
is right around the corner! 

Instead of serving the classic summer time sangria recipe at your next Holiday gathering, try this unique spin - add dried, winter fruit in place of fresh summer fruit. Be prepared though...this recipe requires an overnight chill in the fridge!


ingredients
6 dried Calmyrna (light) figs, sliced
6 dried apricots, cut into slivers
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup raisins
1/4 cup brandy
2 Tbsp. honey
1 750 ml. bottle Rioja or Merlot
1 10-oz. bottle club soda

directions
In a saucepan stir together the dried fruits, brandy, and honey. Cook over medium-low heat until simmering. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Add wine; stir. Refrigerate up to 24 hours. To serve, strain sangria into a pitcher. Add ice cubes and club soda; stir gently. Makes 8 servings.

Yummy! Enjoy and have a great weekend!  xo - Jami
