or browned bits stuck to the pan bottom. Pour the contents of
the skillet over the meat.
Add the chile(s), oregano, salt, beer, and peaches to the slow
cooker, cover, and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to
8 hours. The meat is done when it easily falls apart with the

Summer Sangria
serves 6
When peaches are in season, we use them every way we can. The beauty of sangria is that
if you have peaches, you can use them in several formsslices, nectar, brandyor not! You do
not need to start with expensive wine. You just want something that will provide a solid base
for the combination of flavors. I personally like a drier white like a Sauvignon Blanc for this
recipe. The secret to good sangria is to make it in the morning or the day before, so that the
fruit has enough time to soak and meld with the other flavors. This adult beverage is a great
way to enjoy the best of summer with family or friends, especially as the sun sets.
