with summer approaching us, i wonder, has anyone a tutti fruitti recipe to
recommend? my wife & i often have more mixed fruit on hand that we can
consume. if such a thing is viable, i'd freeze said tutti frutti in order to
process it into a sangria-like beverage at a later date. all suggestions
greatly apsreesh'd. regards, bobdrob

What a good idea! I'm watching this tread for ideas. :*)

Two bottles 750ml home made red wine (your choice, but lean towards less
dry reds)
1 500ml bottle seltzer or ginger ale
4 oz brandy
1/2 cup sugar
Up to 4 cups of your frozen fruit

Mix and enjoy with 1-5 of your closest friends.


Cheers,

i think i was a little unclear in my request; I'd like a recipe to make a
wine out of the leftover fruits (tutti fruitti al rooti!) then use that wine
for sangrias, punches and coolers.
our house sangria:
2 bottles red
1 10oz bottle Boylan's orange soda (real sugar, not corn syrup!)
1 nip or 2 shots of gran marnier
a splash of kirsch
1 orange- 1/2 for juice, 1/2 sliced for garnish
1 lemon same
1 lime same

a ripe peach or nectarine pitted & sliced
a handfull of cherries, 1/2'd & pitted

the leftover soused fruit at the bottom is the best part ;^)

To be honest I was watching this thread to find out just what tutti
fruiti was...


I can't imagine any good ripe fruit you like together as fruit not
being great as a wine. We grow good strawberries this time of year so
I will be making that.

I could see peaches, some melon, maybe some raspberries and a little
lemon and or lime for acidity if necessary with strawberry as the base
making a good wine. I might use honey for the sugar too. I would shot
for 10% ABV since I think higher alcohols seem to mask the fruit.
Whatever you get locally that has a lot of taste is what I would shoot
for. Another option is to buy frozen at the grocery store since it's
frozen at it's peak. If I do it I'll let you know how it turns out.
