JMI need a great recipe for sangria. Anyone?
1 (750 ml) bottle inexpensive fruity medium-bodied red wine


1 (750 ml) bottle coconut rum (I use Captain Morgan)


1 large fresh orange


1 fresh lime


1 fresh lemon


5 fresh kiwi


1 lb green grapes


1 fresh mango


1 lb fresh strawberries





Wash and cut the fruit into small chunks.


You do not need to peel the fruit, just wash and chunk.


Place the cut fruit pieces into a large cooler.


(We buy the styrofoam disposable coolers with the lid.) Pour the full contents of the red wine and rum over the fresh fruit, mixing and stirring.


Cover the cooler and and let sit for at least 24 hours in a dark cool place.


(This is the hard part.).


Serve the mixture by spooning out with a laddle into cups with the fruit and liquid.


Can be poured over ice, but is equally as good straight from the cooler
