Based on a pumpkin sangria served by Kleber DeSouza, resident bartender at The Painted Burro in Somerville, Massachusetts, this spiced, pumpkin-infused wine is a cozy take on cold-weather flavors.

Instructions

Step 1

Combine pumpkin, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and 1 cup water in a 4-qt. saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until pumpkin is tender and translucent, about 40–45 minutes. Cool to room temperature, add wine, and refrigerate for at least 5 hours or overnight. Gently mash pumpkin, stirring to combine, and strain twice through a fine-mesh sieve. Rewarm over low heat until just heated through.
