Peaches are one of the most popular summer fruits available in Italy. They come in various colours, usually white or yellow, and there is also a variety with a smooth skin, called pescà noce in Italian (nectarines).
I suggest to use white peaches for this recipes, but if you cannot get hold of them, you can substitute them by the other varieties.
Ingredients
- 4 white peaches
- 1/2 bottle dry white wine
- 1 vanilla pod, split in 2
- 120 g sugar
- juice of 1 orange
- 2 egg yolks
- wild strawberries or raspberries (optional)
Heat the wine with the sugar, the vanilla pod and the orange juice. Poach the peaches for 5 minutes in this liquid, turn off the heat and let them cool in the liquid.
Peel the peaches, remove the stones and cut into pieces. Take 3 dl of the cooking liquid, bring it to the boil and reduce to 1 dl. Put the egg yolks in the bowl of a mixer and put to full speed. Trickle in the liquid and mix till the mixture is doubled in volume and has completely cooled.
Divide the peach over 4 big wine glasses, and top with the zabaglione. Decorate with the wild strawberries, and serve at once.
