PEACHES IN RED WINE
I once worked with a French waiter known for a fierce scowl that could cause even the most self-assured chef and diner to wither. He tasted one spoonful of these peaches and told me that this was his idea of the perfect dessert. It was one of the few times I saw him smile. But what's not to like? Icy peaches floating in sweet red wine is pretty close to perfection, if I do say so myself. His good mood didn't last very long. But after that, every time we passed each other, I knew from the tiny gleam in his eye that I'd won the admiration of my toughest customer.

Steps:
- In a large nonreactive bowl, whisk together the sugar and wine until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Peel the peaches, halve them, and remove the pits. Cut each peach half into slices 1 inch (3 cm) thick and submerge them in the wine. Taste and add more sugar if desired. Cover and chill until cold, at least 4 hours.
- The peaches should be enjoyed as cold as possible. Serve them right from the refrigerator in well-chilled bowls with lots of the cold sweetened wine. Crisp cookies, such as Pecan-Butterscotch Tuiles (page 214) or Croquants (page 211), are great served alongside.
- You can make the recipe up to 8 hours in advance and keep the mixture chilled until ready to serve. You can also chill the sweetened wine a few days in advance and add the peaches the day you plan to serve them.
- Use yellow and white nectarines instead of peaches (there's no need to peel the nectarines).
- Superfine or baker's sugar dissolves much more quickly than regular granulated sugar. To make your own superfine sugar, pulse granulated sugar in a blender or a food processor a few times until the texture is very fine.
PEACHES POACHED IN RED WINE WITH PEPPER
Steps:
- Place the peppercorns in a square of cheesecloth and tie securely with string. In a large saucepan, combine the port, lemon peel, vanilla bean, bay leaves, wine, pepper sachet and bring to boil. Stir in the honey and remove the saucepan from the heat. Add more honey if necessary. Cover the saucepan and set aside.
- Half fill large saucepan with water and bring to boil. Plunge peaches into boiling water and let them sit there for one to two minutes, then rinse them under cold water and peel them. Place them in the warm wine over medium high heat and bring to simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and cool.
- Remove fruit from syrup and place it in shallow bowl. Pick out bay leaves and stick them in fruit at stem where leaves would be. Cut the vanilla bean into six segments and place one in each peach to make a stem. Set aside in a cool place, outside the refrigerator, until ready to serve.

- 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.
