Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups apple cider (non alcoholic)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 6 whole cloves
  • 4 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 allspice berries
  • 1 apple, cored and sliced thin
  • 1 red bartlett pear, cored and sliced thin
  • 12 ounces seedless grapes (I like the round Holiday Seedless Grapes from Melissa's Produce)
  • 750 milliliters red wine - Shiraz and Syrah work well (1 bottle)
  • 1/2 cup cointreau or triple sec
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together the apple cider and sugar over medium heat till the sugar is dissolved.
  2. Add the whole cloves, cinnamon sticks, and allspice berries. Bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Strain the cider.
  3. Place the sliced fruit and grapes into the bottom of a sangria pitcher. Pour in the strained cider, red wine, Cointreau or triple sec, brandy, and vanilla. Stir.
  4. Chill the sangria for at least 3 hours, up to overnight. Stir again before serving. Pour sangria and a few pieces of fruit into each glass. Keep in mind that this sangria is sweet. Cut the added sugar if you prefer.
