Method
 

  1. Wash and slice the orange, apple, and pear. Core the apple and pear, then dice them into bite-sized pieces.

  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple syrup until smooth.
  6. Pour the pumpkin spice mixture into the pitcher with the other ingredients. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly.
  7. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Before serving, give the sangria a good stir.
  9. Pour the sangria into glasses filled with ice.
  10. Garnish each glass with a cinnamon stick, star anise, orange slice, and/or apple slice.

Notes

Use 100% pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Taste and adjust sweetness as needed by adding more maple syrup. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute white wine with sparkling white grape juice or non-alcoholic apple cider, and Fireball with cinnamon syrup or spiced apple cider. Add a splash of club soda or ginger ale for a bubbly twist. Sangria can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Store in the refrigerator. Use different fruits like Pomegranate seeds, figs, or persimmon for variations.
