Sangria Bites

• 1 12 cups simple syrup
• 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin, about 3 packages
• 2 cups spanish red wine or 2 cups argentinian red wine
• 12 cup orange-flavored brandy or 12 cup liqueur
• 1 orange (or 2 orange-peel strips)

1. Pour the simple syrup into a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin overtop and stir to combine.
2. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 2 minutes.
3. Place this mixture over low heat and stir, gently splashing around the sides of the pan until all of the gelatin has dissolved.
4. Do not boil.
5. Stir the wine and brandy into the gelatin mixture and stir slowly for 1 minute.
6. Pour into an 8-inch glass baking dish and refrigerate for 2 hours or until very firmly set.
7. Wash and dry the orange and remove 2 strips of rind using a vegetable peeler.
8. Use the blade of a knife to scrape away all the white pith on the rind then slice into very thin strands, each about 12 inch long.
9. Cut the set jelly into 34-inch cubes.
10. Remove from the pan using a rubber spatula or an off-set palate knife.
11. Garnish each cube with a few orange-peel slices before serving.
