Ingredients
For the simple syrup
- 1 quince ripe
- 1/2 cup raw cane sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional, pure
For the sangria
- 750 ml white wine
- 1 apple sliced, crisp
- 1/4 cup cranberries sliced, fresh
- 2 prigs rosemary plus more to garnish, fresh
- 500 ml sparkling apple cider or club soda
- ice to serve
Instructions
Simple Syrup
- Cut the quince in quarters and remove the core. Don't worry about peeling it. Give it a rough chop. In a small saucepan, combine the chopped quince and sugar with 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and stir to dissolve the sugar.
- Reduce heat to very low and cover the pan. Simmer the simple syrup on low for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let infuse until room temperature.
- Strain simple syrup into a jar and add a splash of vanilla. Reserve some of the poached quince slices to add to the sangria. Syrup keeps for 1 week in the fridge, or frozen for up to one month.
White Wine Sangria Base
- In a quart jar or large pitcher, combine the wine, apples, cranberries and rosemary. Add 1/4 cup of the quince simple syrup and a spoonful of the poached quince. Stir to combine. Cover and chill the sangria for 4 hours or overnight.
Holiday White Sangria
- Give the infused sangria a stir. To set out in a self-serve pitcher, simply pour in the sparkling apple cider and ice. Stir well and serve immediately.
- To serve in individual glasses: Spoon a little off the fruit into wine glasses and fill halfway with sangria. Add an ice cube or two. Top up with sparkling apple cider. Garnish with a little rosemary sprig if desired. Serve at once
Notes
- You can use any apple you have, I choose a green apple to pair with the red cranberry for their festive colours.
- If you really love the flavour of rosemary, toss a small sprig into the simple syrup and infuse it with the rosemary.
- Club Soda can be used in place of the sparkling apple cider for a lighter, less alcoholic drink.
- I love a cranberry apple cider, blush pink and extra tart. It brings a beautiful colour to the sangria.
