Majorca Sangria (The Real Deal)

"From CULINARIA SPAIN & recipe editor Ingeborg Pils comes this recipe straight from Majorca, known as Spain's *Island of Wine* for its long tradition of excellence. Altho the vineyards are sml by modern stds & produce 1.5 mil liters for export, demand for the wine is so great on the island that very little wine is actually exported. This recipe was described as authentic, but strangely did not suggest a particular red wine. Since I do not feel qualified to choose for you, I will leave that to your best judgment. (Time *does* include time for fruits to sit in the sugar) *Enjoy*"

  1. Save your wine. I just did this recipe and it is not a sweet sangria. It simply tastes like Merlot. I had a beautiful sangria at the Columbia Restaurant the last time I was in Florida and it was 1000 times better than this one that is touted as "The Real Deal."
     
  2. Oh is this good. Only thing i think will be better is an hour from now when the flavors have had longer to blend. Best Sangria ever and easy!
     
  3. we've been sampling sangrias of late and this one is, we have decided (being rather full of it at the moment), the best! A good bottle of tempranillo gave its all in an even better cause. Not too sweet. Not too fruity. Just right! Thanks, Ace!
     
  4. This concoction whisks you off on a mini-vacation where the mariachis play while a beautiful woman does the Flamenco! I added some sliced unpeeled-limes for a bit of color and they complemented nicely. Forget the bottled swill, if you love sangria, this is the one to have.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
