Ingredients

  • 4 cup fresh blackberries

  • ¾ cup sugar

  • 1 ½ cup water

  • 2 750 milliliter bottle rosé wine

  • 1 cup cognac

  • ¼ cup lemon or lime juice

  • 3 cup sliced peaches and/or plums

  • Fresh basil sprigs (optional)

Directions

  1. For the syrup, in a medium saucepan* combine 2 cups of the berries, the sugar, water, and a dash of salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; cool slightly. Strain through a colander, pressing gently without crushing the fruit; discard berries. Cool syrup.

  2. For sangria, in a gallon jar or pitcher combine the blackberry syrup, rosé wine, cognac, lemon juice, fruit, and a few sprigs of basil, if desired. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.

  3. Serve with ice, additional fruit, and basil. Makes 13 cups (26, four-oz. servings).

*Test Kitchen Tip:

Use a nonreactive saucepan, such as Teflon-lined, enamel, stainless steel, or silver. The acid in the berries may react with metal.
