POACHED PEACHES IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• Wash peaches and remove stems. Reduce to low, add peaches, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, rotating them to ensure they completely soak.
• Remove from heat and allow to rest 30 minutes.
• Lightly pinch or squeeze peaches to pull skin, it should remove easily in 1-2 pieces.
• Drizzle a little sauce on top to plate and serve.

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.

WINE POACHED PEACHES WITH ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Combine the wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and lemon rind in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and reduce heat to a bubble.
• Bring the poaching liquid to a boil and cook on high heat until reduced to a syrupy texture. Add the peaches and poach the fruit, spooning the syrup over them occasionally, until you can pierce the peach easily with a knife, about 5 minutes.
• Put the peach halves in 2 dessert bowls. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzle with the poaching syrup. Grate a little nutmeg over the top.

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.

VANILLA POACHED PEACHES

Steps:

• Put the kettle on, and fill a large bowl with iced water. Place the peaches in another large bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 30 secs, then remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the cold water. The skins should now peel away easily.
• Place the wine, honey and vanilla pod in a pan large enough to hold all the peaches, then gently heat until the honey has dissolved. Lower the peaches into the pan, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins until tender but not overly soft. Using two wooden spoons, turn the fruit 3 or 4 times while cooking and frequently baste with the syrup. Remove the cooked peaches from the pan and set to one side in a large bowl.
• Boil the syrup hard until it has reduced by half (this will take about 10 mins). Spoon over the peaches, then set aside to cool. The peaches will keep for up to 2 days, covered and in the fridge. Serve the peaches and syrup at room temperature, warm or chilled with spoonfuls of clotted cream, if you like.

WHITE WINE-POACHED PEARS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients but pears in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil and cook 5 minutes. Add pears, lower heat, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, until pears are tender. If necessary, turn pears very gently by rotating stems with your fingertips so they cook evenly. Remove pears to a bowl, bring poaching liquid to a rapid boil, and reduce by half, about 10 minutes.
• Pour syrup over pears and refrigerate, covered, at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. Serve.

WHITE WINE PEACHES

• Place peaches in a large bowl.
• In a smaller bowl whisk together the wine and sugar until the sugar is totally dissolved.

• Gently toss and serve.

PEARS POACHED IN WHITE WINE

Steps:

• In a pot, combine all ingredients except the pears. Bring to the boil.
• While the liquid is boiling, peel the pears and cut them in half from top to bottom.
• Use a paring knife to core the pears.
• When liquid is boiling, add pears, return to boiling, then simmer until tender but not mushy. This will depend on the pears you choose and how ripe they are. Start with about 5-8 minutes, but be aware that it may take much longer (when I use bosc pears that aren't quite ripe yet it can take half an hour or more).
• Remove the pears, increase the heat, and reduce the liquid by half.
• Spoon the reduced liquid over the pears and top with homemade whipped cream (use recipe # 80157).

CHILLED WHITE PEACHES POACHED IN ROSE SYRUP

Steps:

• Bring wine, sugar, lemon zest, lemon verbena, and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat. Carefully add peaches, and reduce heat to medium. Gently simmer until tender all the way to the pit when pierced with a skewer or a sharp knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer peaches to a plate. Let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel off skin.
• Meanwhile, return poaching liquid to a simmer, and cook until reduced by about three-quarters, about 20 minutes. Pour through a sieve, and discard zest and leaves. (You should have about 1 cup syrup.) Let cool for 10 minutes.
• Refrigerate single layers of peaches and the syrup in separate airtight containers until cold, at least 30 minutes (or overnight). To serve, place a peach on a serving plate and spoon about 3 tablespoons syrup around each peach. Garnish with lemon verbena if desired.

POACHED PEARS WITH WINE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Trim flat the bottoms of pears, and stand them upright in the bottom of a large stock pot. Pour the wine and water into the pot, and turn the flame to high heat. Sprinkle with sugar, and add vanilla bean, star anise, cinnamon stick, and lemon and orange peels. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium low, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pot from stove, and let cool completely. Reserve 1/4 cup poaching liquid. Transfer pears to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate.
• Place 2 poached pears in a blender or food processor, and puree. Remove to a large bowl. Whisk in walnut oil, red wine vinegar, and reserved poaching liquid. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover, and refrigerate.
• Place pears in individual bowls, and top with sauce.

POACHED PEACHES IN SPARKLING WINE WITH BASIL & VANILLA

Steps:

• Put the vanilla pods, seeds and sugar in a saucepan with 200ml water and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Once boiling, drop in the basil and peaches. Poach for 2-3 mins until just tender, then put a lid on the pan and leave the peaches to cool in the syrup.
• Once cool, pour in the sparkling wine and leave for 10 mins. While the poached fruit is soaking up the wine, beat the vanilla, mascarpone and cream together to soft peaks. Serve the peaches in a bowl with plenty of the liquid. Finish with a spoonful of the cream and a few basil leaves.
