PEACH AND BERRY MACEDONIA WITH SPARKLING ROSé



Peach and Berry Macedonia With Sparkling Rosé image

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.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

Fresh fruit in season, trimmed, peeled and cut into bite-sized pieces
Sugar
Freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • Let the fruit macerate for about 30 minutes in the fridge and there you have it!

MACEDONIA



Macedonia image

Categories     Summer     Boil

Yield serves: 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 lemon, removed in large strips with a peeler
4 cups assorted summer fruit (any combo of the following: peaches, nectarines, plums, cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, or any other firm-fleshed fruit you like), cut into bite-size pieces
8 fresh mint leaves, cut into a chiffonade just before serving (see page 58)
1 pint lemon sorbet

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!
