Ontario's Current Issue...
August - September 2019
Dearest Readers,
It has been a beautiful summer so far! In celebration of this wonderful season I thought I would share some of my favorite summertime recipes with you.
What would summer be without Sangria I ask you! Well, wonder no more and try this…
Sangria A ‘La Moe
4 x 750 ml bottles of red sangria wine
1 x 750 ml bottle of good dry red wine
1 x 750 ml bottle of good dry white wine
13 oz inexpensive brandy
3 cups ginger ale
3 oranges
3 limes
3 lemon
The day before serving:
Combine all liquid ingredients in a large glass container. Slice fruit thinly and add to liquid.
Refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to mellow – the way you and your friends will feel when drinking this brew. I have no idea how many this will serve, so feel free to experiment using ½ or 1/3 of the quantities above if you want – You know your friends better than I do!
Need a snack to go with your sangria? Try this pleasant variation on Spinach Salad:
Spinach Salad with Sour Cream Dressing
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp green onion, chopped
2 tbsp parley, minced
1 tbsp vinegar
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 to 2 garlic cloves, crushed
Fresh spinach – enough for 4-6 people (after it has been washed
and torn into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup fresh mushrooms sliced
In blender, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, onion parsley, vinegar,
lemon juice and garlic. Toss spinach and mushrooms with the dressing
and serve.
