Sangria!

[anordinarylove]

I just finished putting a batch of Sangria to soak for a party on Saturday night. I put a bunch of fruit in also. Yet it just occurred to me that maybe the fruit will maybe get gross looking by Saturday night. I guess what I'm asking is will it? Am I going to need to replace the fruit when I serve the drink

It really depends on the fruit - melons will probably get gooey, berries and pineapple I could see being okay. Apples are :|

i think you are starting this FAR too early. i don't no of a single recipe that requires you to chill any longer than overnight.

Yeah, I can only think that the fruit will rot/go soft/go brown, and I can't think how the other things will be improved by starting this so early!

so do you think that if i take it out and rinse it it will be okay to put back in on friday? or do i need to get all new fruit?

[olamina]

take them out and freeze them right away and they should be fine.

yup. i made sangria and put the fruit in fresh, put the leftovers in the fridge and it was already kind of gross by the next day.

[estherchaya]

Yeah,it'll be gross. Ideally you want to make Sangria a day before you need it.

well, i took the fruit out and froze it, so we'll see how it goes. the wine mixture part should be fine though, right?

[drthundr]

what did you put in the wine mixture?

My sangria is off-tasting within about 24 hours, fruit or no fruit.

brandy and fruit juice.
