New Year Sangria

As the year comes to an end and we are all getting ready for that awesome New Years party, I have a recipe that is sure to make your party full of happiness.

So dust off that good ol' punch bowl and get to slicin... this recipe is sure to put some spice in the new year *wink* 

 

Ingredients

1 Bottle of Red Wine (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Rioja) **

1 Cup of St-Germain **

2 Fresh Peaches washed, pitted, and cut into thin slices*

1 Carton Fresh Stawberries*

1 Carton Fresh Raspberries*

1 Carton Fresh Blackberries*

1 Carton Fresh Blueberries*

Instructions

Place wine and fruit in a pan and bring to a boil.

Lower to a simmer for 2 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in St-Germain.

Pour into serving pitcher and refrigerate over night.

When ready to serve give a good stir and serve chilled over ice. 

* Merely Suggestions. All ingredients listed in the recipe are estimates. Add or subtract according to your taste. Be creative!

** For non alcoholic Sangria remove wine and St-Germain and replace with bottle of 100% grape juice.

Tip: I used a Sweet Shiraz and chilled in Ball Mason Jars. They make great hostess gifts or presents during the holiday season. Just print a little tag with the ingredients and use a ribbon to tie it around the jar. I like to put fabric scrap circles around the tops on mine. 

Happy New Years from Me, to all of you!! May 2013 be filled with happiness, family and friends. Cheers!

Handmade Christmas

Hello Everyone,

It starting to look a lot like Christmas around the office. I have been making yoyos like crazy to decorate. I like to use them for garland, ornaments, and to make mini trees out of. 

I have finished all the dolls I was working on and you can see them all here together. Here are some of the homemade gifts I gave and was given for Christmas. There is a jar of my New Year Sangria. 

What are you making and giving this holiday season?
