Caramelized Peaches

August 15, 2017

Peaches have a pretty long season, which usually is from the end of May through September. These best peaches are those that have been left on the tree until the very last minutes, allowing sugars to fully develop. Peaches should be slightly firm to the touch, with a light floral scent. For this recipe, use peaches that are firm-ripe so that they do not fall apart as you cook them. These caramelized peaches are so versatile; they can be used in sweet and savory dishes alike. They are great in salads or spooned over vanilla ice cream.

Moscato Poached Pears

November 2, 2015

Pears poached to tender perfection are a light ending to a satisfying autumn meal. Moscato is a sweet and slightly sparkling white wine that has become very popular over the past few years. Your local wine store should carry it, but if you’re unable to find it you may replace Moscato with a sweet white wine. The alcohol in the wine cooks away, so this dessert is safe to serve to kids and non-drinkers.
