Sparkling Summer Sangria

It’s summertime! Just in case you were living under a rock I thought I’d mention that! And what better to cool off on a hot steamy day than with a pitcher of refreshing Sangria! This recipe is a white sangria and uses my favorite sparkling beverage, Prosecco. Have some friends over and share!


INGREDIENTS:

1 peach, pitted and cut into wedges

1 nectarine, pitted and cut into wedges

3 apricots, pitted and cut into wedges

5 ounces peach brandy

1 bottle (750ml) chilled Prosecco

1 cup peach nectar

Extra fresh sliced peaches for garnish


DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large pitcher, combine the peach, nectarine and apricots.

2. Stir in peach brandy and let it sit in refrigerator at least 1 hour. (If you can let it sit overnight that is always good!)

3. After it’s thoroughly chilled stir in the Prosecco and peach nectar. Serve in wine glasses.Garnish with a slice of peach on a decorative toothpick.

Easy as Pie

I came across this recipe in a holiday book. (Christmas is just 168 days away you know!) It claims to be the easiest pie in the world to bake. While reading it over I would have to agree. I think even the “baking challenged” as I tend to be sometimes can bake this pie. I don’t have a picture but it is a custard pie and has coconut in it. So sort of like a coconut custard pie. One of my favorites. So practice for the holidays and get baking everyone! I think I will make it myself next time I have an ‘event’ that needs a dessert! By the way it is NOT a low-calorie dessert. But that’s ok now and then! Moderation! Heck I may even make it this weekend to see if it actually works! Then I will have an actual picture to show. If anyone makes it before I do, please send me a picture and I’ll include it! I will put in a “temporary” photo until then.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups milk

4 eggs

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 cup flaked coconut

1 cup sugar

1 stick butter

½ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract


DIRECTIONS:

Place all ingredients into a blender. (Yes a blender!) Turn the blender on medium speed and count to ten. (Not 9, not 11, but 10!)

Pour into a 9″ deep dish pie pan.

During the baking process the flour drops to form the crust and the remaining ingredients form the filling. (I admit I am a bit skeptical on this!)

Bake at 350º for 45 minutes.
