When the nights start to turn cool, summer produces some of its best-tasting fruit. The flavors of peach, nectarine, apricot and melon pair wonderfully with late harvest riesling so, before you cocoon for the winter, treat yourself and your guests to a final ray of sunshine.
- Combine peach, pear and apple slices in medium bowl and toss with lemon juice. Add raspberries and wine and fold gently.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour.
- Serve with Greek yogurt or fromage frais, if desired.
More Than One Way to Skin a Peach
Blanching is a quick and easy way to remove the skin from peaches or tomatoes and it saves your vegetable peeler for other things—like vegetables. Make an X in the bottom of the peach with a knife. Meanwhile, bring a stockpot of water to a boil and prepare an equally large bowl of ice water. Working with 2 peaches at a time, dunk the peaches into the boiling water for about 30 seconds then remove with a slotted spoon and immerse in bowl of cold water. Once cool use a paring knife to remove the skin.
