Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
