Best Nectarines In Red Wine Recipes
NECTARINES AND BERRIES IN WINE SAUCE
I have kept a box of white wine in my refrigerator and red in the pantry almost since these easily dispensed wines first became available. Need a half-cup, a cup or more for a recipe? It's at hand, ready to go into the pot, and there's also some always ready to go into the cook.About the only time I serve the wines is on an informal occasion, for example if someone wants a glass of white when everybody else is drinking red. The wines are also handy for a mixed wine drink like a kir, or even sangria.Their destiny, as the poaching liquid for summer nectarines, could not be more rewarding. The fruit is mixed with berries, and the wine, sweetened with sugar, is enriched with berry purée and reduced to a sauce. Whether to use white or red depends on the berries you select. Do not skimp on the chilling time; overnight would not be a mistake. It improves the dessert.

Steps:
- Purée half the raspberries or blackberries by forcing them through a sieve or potato ricer to eliminate seeds.
- Place the wine (with raspberries, use white; with blackberries, red) in a 3-quart saucepan. Stir in the sugar, bring to a slow simmer and add the nectarines and pits. Simmer until the fruit is just tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the nectarines to a bowl with a slotted spoon, draining well. Discard the pits. Stir berry purée into the pan.
- Bring wine with berry purée to a boil and cook about 15 minutes, until reduced to about 3/4 cup. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and framboise or brandy, if using. Allow to cool 30 minutes. Mix the remaining berries with the nectarines. Pour the sauce over the fruit and refrigerate several hours, or overnight. Serve on its own or over ice cream, garnished with mint.

ROASTED NECTARINES WITH MULLED WINE SAUCE
Such a delcious way to use fresh nectarines. Served with custard, ice-cream or youghurt. I found this recipe in the paper and this is such a lovely dessert for summer, it would make for a lovely light dessert during the Christmas period, the spices just compliment the nectarines so well. I am also going to try this with plums. I removed the skins after cooking, the skins come off so well, and looks better for presentation.

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.
