Homemade Punch

Bring the apple juice and sugar to a short boil in a pot until the sugar has dissolved.

Remove the sweetened apple juice from the heat and let it cool completely.

Wash the red currants, raspberries and gooseberries and put them into a punch bowl.

Stone the apricots (marillen), cut them into small pieces and add them to the punch bowl with the berries.

Mix the cooled apple juice with the white wine, pour over the fruit and chill the punch for at least 2 hours.

Just before serving, top up with well-chilled sparkling wine and serve immediately.
