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.

  1. Combine peach, pear and apple slices in medium bowl and toss with lemon juice. Add raspberries and wine and fold gently.
  2. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour.
  3. 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.
