Hi, everyone!
The newest episode of You’re Home with Jill airs tomorrow! All of my DIY projects and recipes have a Southwestern flair and I just love everything about this episode because I’m in love with that region of our country. I love the history, the people, the colors, and the incredible décor. On Friday, I shared one craft you’ll see tomorrow, DIY Dream Catchers, which turned out GREAT. (Who knew I could make an authentic dream catcher!?) Here’s the featured recipe you’ll see in tomorrow’s show: Sangria!
Red Wine Sangria
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of your favorite red wine (Merlot of Pinot Noir work well)
- 1 (48-oz) bottle of pomegranate-blueberry juice
- 6 oz brandy
- 1 cup fresh blackberries
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Directions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large pitcher and let steep for 3 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with a sprig of fresh basil.
White Wine Sangria
Ingredients:
- 1 bottle of your favorite white (Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay works well)
- 1 (48-oz) bottle of Lemonade
- 6 oz Lemoncello liqueur
- 1 cup fresh lemon slices
- 1 cup fresh lime slices
- 1 cup fresh star fruit slices
Directions:
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large pitcher and let steep for 3 hours, or overnight. When ready to serve, garnish with a sprig of fresh mint.
Do you recognize him? It’s Phillip Watson from Cottage Farms!? He’ll be stopping by tomorrow to help me with a gardening project. And, I may or may not have talked him into helping me make my sangria!
The sangria-making process can be a beautiful thing…
Because the flavors of the sangria need time to marry, you can’t make this drink on the spot for your guests. But, you can have some sangria already made and chilling in the fridge. This second batch can be a conversation starter and the backup in case your guests are really thirsty!
I’ll see you tomorrow at 7pm ET on QVC Plus or ANYTIME on QVC.com. You can access the video right from our homepage. And, after tomorrow, anytime on the You’re Home with Jillpage.
From my home to yours,
—Jill
