Peach Plum Blueberry Sangria

Peachy Keen & Ruby Red…

A Recipe for Peach, Plum, & Blueberry Sangria

Sangria, from the Spanish and Portuguese, literally means bloodletting. It refers to the beautiful, ruby, red color of what has become a favorite summertime beverage in the US. Once again, we have those marching Roman legionaires to thank for spreading the tradition of drinking wine. As the Romans invaded vast territories in Europe and the Mediterranean in the first century AD, they influenced conquered cultures, promoted trade, and shared their traditions. The Romans, influenced by the Greeks, assisted in spreading the custom of drinking wine. Consuming wine, in those times was infinitely safer than drinking water, due to unreliable drinking water sanitation. As a result of the Roman influence, the Spanish planted additional grape vines to increase their wine production and revenues from trading goods with Rome (A History of the World in 6 Glasses, Tom Standage).

Just like in Spain, where sangria recipes vary between regions and local towns, you can find hundreds of different combinations to create a refreshing punch. This is my latest version that I made using some of my favorite local fruits; peaches from Shuler farms, blueberries, and plums. It is also a great way to utilize leftover wine! Sangria is incredibly easy to make. You simply dissolve honey or sugar in hot water with the peaches and plums, transfer to a large jar, add brandy and wine, and marinate. Choosing a wine to complement your flavors and tastes is very important. For this recipe I chose a light Pinot Noir. I found this article quite helpful for choosing an appropriate wine for Sangria.

Slow Food, Less Effort, 1 Ingredient at a Time

Are you striving to make a lifestyle change or looking to discover plant-focused recipes the whole family will love?

My name is Jen. I am a wife, mom, and a pharmacist. I love to cook for my family, hike, run, and read about history. I enjoy eating fresh, seasonal, locally available produce. In addition to endurance trail runs and long bike rides, I will happily set out on foraging hikes for mushrooms and truffles.

Waiting for the seasons to change, fruits to ripen, vegetables to mature, or truffles to reach their peak (7-11 years) is an endurance sport in itself.  Nonetheless, the time and effort spent is well worth crossing that finish line and enjoying a delicious, healthy meal.

I always say the slower you run, the more you enjoy the trail. Food is the same. Cooking together in the kitchen with freshly harvested fruits and vegetables is all about taking life slower and enjoying the process and experience. Plant-based, healthy food for the whole family with less effort, so you can slow down and enjoy life!
