Directions
Fresh Peaches in Sauternes Soak With Angelica and Lavender,This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe #248003) I have discovered that the leaves also make a great accompaniment when used with fresh fruit. Try to serve this fresh fruit salad in a large clear glass bowl for maximum impact; it just looks so pretty with the light shining through the fruit, juices and herbs! I find that the only thing that is needed to serve this is a good dollop of crme fraiche. I have also made this with apricots and melon for a slight change. I like to use a combination of white and yellow peaches for this recipe but please use local and fresh peaches regional to your area. Prep time includes the minimum “soaking” time. I have not tried this with tinned peaches, but suspect that they may be too “soft” to hold their shape for prolonged soaking.,Great for tea time served in little egg cups! I love how the floral flavor is strong but not overwhelming. you could even add a hint of rose water
