Well, in keeping with the strong desire I have to HUNT DOWN and PUNCH OUT the guy in the gray Volvo SUV who sideswiped Randy the perfekt husband and then DROVE OFF forcing us to fork over the $1000 deductible required by our insurance to fix our Prius… I’m doing a PUNCH recipe today.

And while I won’t be joining my fellow Mammakazes in a cocktail this week (I’m on antibiotics) I hope you enjoy this yummy recipe.

2 cups diced stone fruit (apricots, plums, peaches, nectarines)

2 cups apricot juice

2 cups sparkling wine

1 cup seltzer

Combine diced fruit, apricot juice, sparkling wine and seltzer. Divide among 4 ice-filled glasses.
Non-alcoholic version: Substitute sparkling cider for the wine.
