Susans Sangria Food

SANGRIA

Steps:

• Cut the orange into thin slices, and then cut the slices into wedges, and place in a large pitcher.
• Cut one long slice of rind from the lemon and add to the oranges.
• Slice completely around the peaches, cutting down to the pit, and twist the halves in opposite directions until the 2 halves come apart.
• Remove and discard the pits, slice the peaches and add to the oranges.
• Add the sugar to the fruit and stir.
• Pour in the wine and stir until the sugar dissolves.
• Taste and add more sugar or a squeeze or 2 of lemon juice to taste.
• Chill for at least an hour.
• When ready to serve, use a long handled spoon to stir and press the fruit against the side of the pitcher to extract some of the juice.
• Put the ice into glasses and pour the chilled Sangria over and add some fruit from the pitcher to each glass.

BEST TRADITIONAL SPANISH SANGRIA RECIPE

Steps:

• If using the sugar (which will make a sweeter sangria than if you omit), dissolve the sugar in two tablespoons of water over a low flame to create a clear simple syrup. Let cool.
• Wash the oranges and cut off thick pieces of rind before juicing the oranges.
• Juice the oranges.
• Wash the lemon and cut off pieces of rind before juicing the lemon.
• Juice the lemon.
• In a large pitcher or bowl, stir together the wine, simple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice, and brandy (if using), and add in the pieces of lemon and orange rind. If making a truly traditional Spanish sangria, simply add the cinnamon stick and let sit at least two hours (preferably overnight) before serving over ice. This allows the sangria to take on the aromas of the fruit rind and cinnamon stick.
• If you want to make a slightly more modern version (still not anything too crazy!) add in chopped up chunks of green apple and peach. For the modern version you can also top off with a carbonated beverage (lemon soda, orange soda, or soda water) right before serving for some bubbles.
