How to Make Sangria Spiced Melon

  1. Dice 10 cups of assorted melons (cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon – your choice!) into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup dry red wine (like Rioja or Tempranillo), ½ cup orange juice, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Gently pour the sangria dressing over the melon cubes in a large serving bowl.
  4. Toss gently to coat the melon evenly.
  5. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours, to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve chilled. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).
