Sangria Muffins

I have always loved European travel, including experiencing the wonderful tastes that this great continent offers. One drink that I occasionally yearn for is the sangria. With the distinct blending of the red wine and the various fruits, I concocted this muffin recipe which reflects the flavors of this classic drink! Truly a touch of Spain!
