Peaches and Wine

Hi Everyone.  This summer I was happily reminded of a nice treat that I'd completely forgotten about.  A friend brought a pitcher of peaches soaking in wine to a party.  I remembered that peaches and wine was something that my grandmother often prepared when I was a child.  You simply slice up a couple of peaches and pour any type of wine over them and let them sit for about an hour in a pitcher.  A few glasses of the peach soaked wine before dinner is absolutely delightful.  No need to strain the wine as any bits of peach only add a nice touch.  Reserve the peaches for desert either alone or with ice cream or a simple cookie.  They'll have a pleasantly winey taste.  I have a peach tree in my yard which I planted last spring and this year it gave me several delicious peaches!  I served peaches and wine using my peaches!  I was so happy to have been reminded of this lovely summer tradition.

I hope that some of you have tried the romano flat green beans this summer.  They are very prolific and have such a succulent texture.  Look for them before summer ends.

Enjoy!
