What can you do with leftover sangria?
Don't forget the fruit at the bottom the pitcher.
Trying to figure out how much sangria you need
for a party can be difficult. Online party calculators can give you some idea,
but your guests may not drink as much as you thought they would. And even if
all the sangria is gone, there's still all that fruit left in the bottom of
your pitcher.
Do you have to toss all that out? Of course
not. There are creative ways to use up leftover sangria or even just the
remaining fruit.
Sangria smoothies
Put your ice cube trays to use by freezing
cubes of leftover sangria that's been separated from the fruit. The fruit can
be frozen separately after the rinds and skins have been removed. Use that
frozen leftover sangria and fruit and turn them into sangria smoothies in your
blender with the addition of some lemon-lime soda.
Sangria popsicles
You can make sangria popsicles with leftover
sangria two different ways. You can chop up the fruit into bite-sized pieces,
making sure all rinds and skins are removed, putting some into popsicle molds
and then pouring the leftover wine on top and freezing in the coldest part of
your freezer. The alcohol in them will make them melt quickly, but they'll be great
grown-up treats.
You can also make popsicles out of the leftover
fruit only. Every Day Originals explains how to puree the leftover fruit
and turn it into fruit pops with a kick.
Fruit sauce
The fruit in your sangria has been in the wine for some time,
and it's soaked up a lot of flavor, even as it has imparted some flavors into
the wine. Getting to the wine-infused fruit at the bottom of the glass is
the adult version of finding the toy at the bottom of the cereal box! Don’t let all that flavor go to waste! Think
of this dessert option as your duty to the planet.
Let any leftover
infused fruit and the last drops of wine continue to soak overnight. Then
drain, and blend or puree the leftover fruit and herbs into a sauce. It makes a
great topping on French toast, ice cream, and of course, on cake!
Sangria jam
Kitchen Table Scraps explains how to turn the fruit into jam that will keep several weeks in the refrigerator.
