Ingredients
- 3fresh ripe peaches
- 1pint blueberries
- 1½cups dry red wine
- ½cup sugar
- 1½cups mascarpone
- ½teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation
- Step 1
Peel the peaches by plunging them into boiling water for 30 seconds, removing them and rinsing them in cold water. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits.
- Step 2
Put the blueberries, wine and sugar in a saucepan, bring to a simmer and cook a minute or two, just long enough for the blueberries to darken and soften but not split their skins. Remove the blueberries to a separate bowl with a slotted spoon, leaving the wine mixture in the saucepan.
- Step 3
Slice the peaches and add them to the wine mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook about 15 minutes, until the peaches are tender. Remove from heat and transfer to the bowl with the blueberries. Refrigerate until cold.
- Step 4
To serve, divide the fruit among six bowls or goblets. Top each serving with a large dollop of the mascarpone and dust with cinnamon.

Cooking Notes
This is super easy and really fragrant. The directions don’t say whether to discard the sugared wine cooking liquid. I decided to store and chill separately and drizzle a bit on top of the mascarpone. Lovely.
This is so good. Definitely serve the fruit in the wine sauce. I searched for a use for mascarpone leftover from the holidays, had leftover wine too, so it was a great fit. I used peaches I had frozen in late summer and that worked great. The alcohol seemed to all cook out and didn't notice any wine taste or buzz, so no worries on that.
