The drink is made by juicing white peaches, and putting the pits of the peaches into the juice, turning the juice pink.
The juice is poured into glasses, with Prosecco, a delicious sparkling wine from the northern regions of Italy. The good news is, that you don't need to pay a fortune to buy a good bottle of Prosecco.
Here in San Diego at Specialty Produce, the stone fruit has been amazing. When I stopped by on Saturday, I picked up way more peaches than we could possibly eat, and so I decided to replicate my favorite beverage in a jam using these succulent peaches.
Using a combination of yellow, and white peaches, I had about 10 cups of peeled, pitted and coarsely chopped peaches, and put them into a heavy bottomed saucepan, with 3 cups of sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1/2 cup of Prosecco--this gives you the rest of the bottle to enjoy while you are making the jam. Bring the mixture to a boil, and boil for 10 to 15 minutes. I'm not a fan of pectin, but if you choose to have jam that is really thick, add the pectin according to the package of directions.
This is a great Prosecco that you can find at Costco |
This yielded two 4-ounce jars, and two 8-ounce jars. You can process these in a water bath for 10 minutes, if you would like, or the jam will keep in the refrigerator for about 6 weeks.
