Peaches and Sparking Wine

[kadesma]

We have several peach trees that ripen late. So by now I've had my fill of cobblers,pies and what have you. A friend and I came up with this idea and ohhh is it nice. take 6 ripe peaches with 6 guests to go with the peaches. Chill 6 small plates, when ready for dessert, peal the peaches, pass them out along with the cold dishes a salad fork and small knife and of course a glass of the sparkling wine Then the guests slice off a piece of peach and dunk,dunk, dunk it in the wine. yummy and brings smiles to the faces of your guests.
enjoy

Why dirty so many dishes? Just make Bellinis.

Bellini recipe

1 medium ripe peach, peeled and pureed
4 to 6 oz Proseco

Pour peach puree into a large champagne flute and slowly add Proseco. Stir gently. Garnish with a peach slice.

I enjoy a Bellini especially at Easter time. But you will have fun dunk,dunk,dunking this peach and wine as you gab and enjoy the company.
thanks for the recipe.

Sounds heavenly. I have a question about the Bellinis...why not pour the Proseco in with the peaches while you puree? Is there a reason for stirring the white wine in "gently"?

Proseco is a sparkling wine, like champagne. If you run it through the blender you will lose all those beautiful bubbles, and you'll probably blow the top off the blender!

Oh, okay, that makes perfect sense. After I posted the question, I thought about the term "bruising the wine", a term I vaguely stored in the recess of my mind. I didn't really know what that meant...so I looked it up and read that it's a myth...interesting.

Sounds like it would make some good Granita's.

Would sparkling wine work or should it be just a nice sweet white wine? But yes that sounds nice.
