A Quilter's Day Off- Keri's Summer Sangria

Even though I want to quilt all the time every once in a while quilters need a day off to rest and recharge. Earlier this year I was gifted a bottle of Aki Plum Liqueur. I opened the bottle and took a taste wondering where to best use Keri's tasty present. Fortunately I think I found a great way to enjoy and share this lovely treat. Thank you Keri!

 

 Keri's Summer Sangria

3-4 peaches 

11/2 c. strawberries

 1/2 c. Aki Plum Liqueur 

1 1/2 bottles Vinho Verde white wine

1/2 gallon mason jar

1. Peel and slice peaches in to bite sized pieces. Add to jar

2. Trim tops off of strawberries. Slice into bite sized pieces. Add to jar.

3. Add Plum liquer.

4. Add 1 bottle of wine then enough of the second bottle to fill the mason jar.

5. Cap jar and shake a few times to mix the Sangria.

6. Chill for one hour or as long as you can wait to taste. Pour into wine glasses including some fruit in each serving. Have spoons ready to eat the fruit  from the glass after you drink the Sangria. 

Note: The half gallon jar fits nicely in my fridge. You can easily double the recipe if you have more thirsty quilters.
