Ingredients

2 tsp whole cloves
1/2 of a vanilla bean split lengthwise
64 ounces apple-cranberry juice
4 medium purple and/or green plums pitted and sliced
1 bottle red wine

Instructions

Take a small pairing knife and split the vanilla bean down the middle (top to bottom) of one side (not all the way through).
Place cloves and vanilla bean in center of a double-thick 6-inch square of 100% cotton cheesecloth. Bring corners of cloth together; tie closed with clean string.
Pour apple-cranberry juice into a large container or pitcher.
Add plums and spice bag.
Cover and chill for 4 to 24 hours.
Remove and discard cheesecloth bag.
In a 4-quart Dutch oven, heat the juice mixture and wine until hot.
Serve in heatproof mugs.

Notes

Red wine - Use any kind of red wine that you love the flavor of. Pinot Noir is always a great choice because of its bright, fruity flavor.

Fruit - If you don't love plum or can't find them, you can use peaches, pears or apples for this recipe.

Vanilla - Don't have vanilla beans? Use a splash of good-quality vanilla extract just before serving.

You can also serve this plum sangria over ice!
