We just love this Pear Sangria, perfect with our Le Pommier Sauvignon Blanc!
Mulled Pear Sangria
Serves 4.
- 2 ripe pears, plus extra slices for serving
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1 whole cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 120ml tequila
- 1 bottle white wine, we used Le Pommier Sauvignon Blanc
Method
- Peel and core the pears and roughly chop into cubes. Place the pear cubes, sugar, water, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the pears are soft, about 8-10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the cinnamon stick and cloves and discard. Puree the pear and syrup mixture until smooth, in a regular blender or using a hand blender.
- Put the pear syrup back in a saucepan. Add the liqueur and wine and heat over low heat until just steaming. Remove from the heat and ladle into pre-warmed glasses to prevent cracking. Garnish each glass with a few slices of pear, then serve.
