We’re at the height of stone fruit season, so what’s with the apples and pears?

Make a stone fruit sangria, and make it even more summery with rosé as the base wine.

What are stone fruits? Here’s the scoop; some of the most popular are apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches and plums.

The stone fruits season is in the summer. Enjoy them while you can!

RECIPE: ROSE SANGRIA WITH STONE FRUITS

We adapted this recipe from Saveur. You start by making a spiced syrup to sweeten the drink.

1/3 cup honey

1 stick cinnamon

1/2 vanilla bean

1-1/2 cups sparkling blood-orange soda*

4 cups rosé wine†

1/2 cup brandy

3 cups roughly-chopped stone fruit, like peaches, plums and nectarines (apples and pears may be used as well)

1 cup halved grapes

1/2 cup blueberries

3 sprigs mint

Preparation

1. BOIL the honey, cinnamon, vanilla bean and soda in a 4-quart saucepan; let cool.

2. STIR in the wine and brandy. In a pitcher, layer chopped fruit, grapes, blueberries, and mint. Strain wine mixture over fruit; chill at least 4 hours or up to overnight before serving.
________________
* We used San Pellegrino Aranciata Rossa (blood orange); they also make it in Clementine. If you can’t find it, use another orange-flavored carbonated drink. If you want less sugar, use an unsweetened orange-flavored club soda.

† One 750ml bottle = 3.175 cups.
