Winos and Fruits

For this post, I'll need the help of my lovely assistant. We're going to show you how to clean out a fridge full of fruit using only two glasses, two pitchers, two extra-large bottles of cheap white wine, a mini four-pack of cheap white wine, some brandy, rum, and maybe some of that raspberry syrup you made the other day.

First peel (optional) and slice all the peaches in your fridge. Save some for the peach sorbet you're going to make in the next blog post, and divide the rest between two pitchers.





One of these pitchers will turn into chilled white wine and peaches. Remember that? We've been drinking it ever since peach season started.

 All the rest of the fruit in your fridge should go into the other pitcher. Probably doesn't matter what kind of fruit it is - we had a few blueberries and blackberries leftover from the most recent fruit picking expedition.

Add sugar, stir around.

Then add a lot of brandy to the mix of fruit.

Then decide you need some more fruit to balance it out, and go to the store to get some plums.

Might as well throw some raspberry syrup in there too, as long as it's lying around.


Then add some white wine.

Add some more white wine.

Stir around.

And let everything chill in the fridge overnight. You can drink it with your pancakes tomorrow morning.

At this point, you've been running around, slicing peaches, buying brandy and plums, and stirring things all day, so you need a drink. Take out that bottle of raspberry syrup you made the other day. See it in the fridge? Mix it with some rum, and pour it over ice.

 You deserve it.
