Best White Wine Peaches Recipes

PEACHES POACHED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Cut orange and lemon half into thin slices and remove the pits.
• Place the peaches in a single layer in a casserole. Add the water, wine, sugar and vanilla pod and cover with the orange and lemon slices. The liquid should barely cover the fruit.
• Cut a round of wax paper the same size as the casserole and make a small hole in the middle. Bring the fruit to a boil, then skim any foam that rises to the surface.
• Lower the heat so one single bubble breaks at the top, then place the wax paper over the top and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup.
• Remove the peaches from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Slip off their skins. Place the peaches in a glass bowl and top with the orange and lemon slices. Strain the syrup over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours.

• Gently toss and serve.

PEACHES AND RASPBERRIES IN SPICED WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup wine, sugar, orange peel and cinnamon in small saucepan. Stir over low heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat; simmer 15 minutes. Remove from heat; add remaining wine.
• Blanch peaches in large pot of boiling water 20 seconds. Transfer to bowl of cold water, using slotted spoon. Drain. Pull off skin with small sharp knife. Slice peaches and transfer to large bowl. Add raspberries and wine mixture. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Stir occasionally.) Divide fruit and wine among glass goblets. Serve with biscotti.

CHILLED PEACHES IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Slice the peaches thinly. Combine the peaches and sugar, and toss gently to mix.
• Add the wine, and toss gently again.
• Taste, and adjust sugar as needed. Cover, and refrigerate for several hours - or up to a few days, if you want.
• Serve the peaches cold, in a glass or shallow bowl, with a small ladleful of their liquid. Eat the peaches with a fork and then drink the liquid left in the glass.

POACHED PEACHES IN WHITE WINE GELATIN

Steps:

• In a saucepan combine the wine, 3/4 of the lemon zest, and the seeds of the vanilla bean and bring to a slow simmer. Add the peach halves and return to a simmer, covered for 3-5 minutes, depending on the firmness of the peaches. When done, the peaches should easily be pierced with a sharp knife. Allow the peaches to cool slightly in the wine mixture until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Remove the peach skins and discard. Cut the peach halves as you desire, into quarters, slices, or chunks and divide among six small glass bowls or custard cups. Strain the wine mixture (use a coffee filter if you want a really clear gelatin) and then whisk in the gelatin crystals until completely dissolved. Pour the gelatin mixture over the fruit and place the dishes in the refrigerator for up to two hours or until the gelatin has set. To serve, mix the reserved lemon zest with the berries and divide the berry mixture among the six desserts. If desired, garnish with a spoonful of whipped cream and a sprig of mint.

ICE-WINE SORBET WITH WHITE PEACHES

Steps:

• Heat wine, water, and sugar in a 3-quart saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved, then gently simmer 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, then set bowl in a larger bowl of ice water and stir until cold, 10 to 15 minutes. Freeze in ice cream maker. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer, at least 4 hours. (Texture will be soft.)
• Serve sorbet with peaches.

SWEETENED GRILLED PEACHES AND PEARS IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Cut the peaches and pears in thick slices, don't peel, just nice thick slices. You will be grilling these so you don't want them too thin.
• Mix the wine, mint, allspice and brown sugar in a pie pan or small bowl and add the peaches and pears and let marinade 1-2 hours.
• Mix the mascarpone, honey and orange juice and chill in a small bowl.
• Toast the pistachios. I rough chop and then lightly toast in a dry saute pan for 2-3 minutes just to lightly toast and intensify the flavors. Remove and let cool.
• Grill on medium heat on a grill pan or they can be done on a outdoor grill as well. Grill until until nice grill marks on each side but not overdone.
• Just serve the fresh grilled fruit with a dollop of the mascarpone cheese topping and toasted pistachios.
