Winter Sangria











This beautiful sangria combines red and white wine for a taste that is more about the fruit and less about the type of wine used.  Seasonal fruits make it perfect for the colder weather outside and there's no club soda to dilute this fruity wine.

WINTER SANGRIA

1 bottle red wine, preferably burgundy
1 bottle white wine, preferably chablis
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brandy
1 pear, with peel on, sliced in 1/8's with seeds and stem removed
1 apple, with peel on, sliced in 1/8's with seeds and stem removed
1 orange, sliced

Combine wines, sugar and brandy in large pitcher.  Stir gently until sugar dissolves.  Add fruit slices and stir gently.  Chill for at least 2 hours and serve cold.
