Sangria!

We've had a hard time finding really good organic wines. TJs sells a few very reasonably priced wines made with organic grapes that, though not too good alone, are great to use in Sangria!

What you need:
 1 bottle organic red or white wine
 1/2 cup organic vodka
 1 orange
 2 lemons
 2 limes
 A handful of organic frozen fruit, such as raspberries, cherries, strawberries
 1 apple peeled and cut into chunks
 Organic pomegranate or tart cherry juice
 Simple syrup (made by shaking raw, untreated honey and filtered water in a jar)
 Sparkling water

What you do:
 Pour wine and vodka into large pitcher
 Juice orange, one lemon and one lime and add to pitcher
 Thinly slice one lemon and one lime and add to pitcher
 Add frozen fruit, chunks of apple, pomegranate or cherry juice
 Add simple honey syrup to taste
 Let sit in refrigerator overnight or several hours
 Serve over ice with sparkling water
 Enjoy!
