California Wine Ice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. water
1 c. sugar
1 bottle California Merlot
juice of 1 orange
juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

Add sugar and water in saucepan.
Cook over low heat until sugar is dissolved.
Turn up heat and bring mixture to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour syrup into a large container and cool completely.
Add wine, orange juice and lemon juice.
Stir with a whisk.
Pour mixture into a cake pan or roasting pan; place it in the freezer.
Once every hour, stir the mixture with a fork.
After 5 to 6 hours the wine mixture will start to form small crystals and have the consistency of soft sherbet.
(It should have a granular texture.)
Serve a mound of the wine ice in a stemmed wine glass.
