Equipment
- Champagne Flutes or wine glasses
- Baking sheet optional, only needed for making peach sorbet
- Parchment paper optional, only needed for making peach sorbet
Ingredients
- 2 medium ripe peaches
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 Tablespoon sugar (see note)
- 1 bottle chilled sparkling white wine
Instructions
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add 2 medium ripe peaches and simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Transfer peaches to a bowl of ice water. The peel should now be easy to remove by rubbing gently with a dry paper towel. If not, remove skin with a paring knife or vegetable peeler. Remove the peach pits and cut the peaches into cubes.
- Add the cubed peaches, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 Tablespoon sugar to a food processor. Process peaches until you have a smooth puree. Refrigerate until ready to use or make into sorbet (see step below)
- Distribute peach puree or sorbet (see below) among 4 champagne flutes or wine glasses. Top with sparkling wine, and stir gently.
Sorbet (optional)
- Spread puree onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Place in the freezer until frozen. Break up frozen puree into chunks, and return it to the food processor. Process until it forms a thick sorbet, scraping down the sides as needed.
Notes
You may need more sugar depending on the sweetness of your peaches. Taste the puree after adding 1 Tablespoon. If it tastes very sour, add more, 1 teaspoon at a time until you reach your desired sweetness.
