You Know You Want Some

Louisa’s* Sangria Recipe

7 Liters** of red wine (nothing too fancy)
1 L- apple brandy
1 L- orange juice (best with pulp)
0.5 L- lemon juice (concentrate is fine)
1 L- apple juice
3 lbs. of oranges (optional: 1 lb. Lemons)
3 cups of sugar

11 liters total volume + fruit = need about a 15 liter container

Dissolve sugar in 2 cups of very hot water
Chop fruit and squeeze out juice
Add parts to Sangria

Chill overnight

~~~~~~~
* Louisa is my neighbor. She makes the best Sangria I've ever tasted.
** 1 Liter = 0.264 gallons. This recipe makes approximately 3 (2.904) gallons of Sangria.
*** Now updated to include picture of finished product!

Yes, it's in a bucket. I don't have a five gallon punch bowl - do you? Can I borrow it?
Yes, I bought the bucket new and scrubbed it before using it.
Yes, it takes up practically all of my fridge.
Yes, I taste-tested it - and it. is. yummy.

If only red wine did not give me a headache so bad that I would almost prefer to just beat my head against a brick wall.

So can I come to your house for some? Like in this exact moment. How about you pass me some through the computer. How cool would that be?
