PEACH AND BERRY MACEDONIA WITH SPARKLING ROSé
Fresh fruit compote always makes a perfect dessert, especially during the summer months, when stone fruits and berries are in season. This recipe relies on peaches, nectarines, blackberries and raspberries, but you could add apricots or cherries, too. Any dry white or rosé wine will work, but this Macedonia is especially good with sparkling wine, particularly sparkling rosé. Serve in wide glasses, so guests can sip the resulting juice. Top up with more bubbly, if you wish. Here, a bit of optional lavender perfumes the fruit, but lemon verbena or mint leaves would also be nice.

Steps:
- Toss the cut up fruit together with sugar and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Taste the combination: if too sweet, add a bit more lemon juice, if too tart, add a bit more sugar, bearing in mind that both tend to mellow after maceration.
- Let the fruit macerate for about 30 minutes in the fridge and there you have it!
MACEDONIA
Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar with 2 cups water and the lemon zest. Bring to a boil (BTB), then turn off the heat and let cool. (You have made simple syrup!) When the syrup is cool, remove the lemon zest.
- Transfer the syrup to a large mixing bowl, add the fruit, and mix to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour-the idea is to serve this COLD on a HOT summer day.
- Ladle the fruit into individual serving bowls and sprinkle with the mint.
- Nestle a scoop of lemon sorbet in each dish of fruit. Serve cold!
