It’s a common dessert enjoyed during the hot summer days throughout Rome.

Pesche Al Vino

A simple and sweet treat that’s remarkably rich.

Ingredients

• 6 ripe peaches
• 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 750 ml. bottle red wine

Directions

Wash and dry all six peaches gently. Cut peaches into wedges and discard the pits.

Place the peach wedges into a mixing bowl and drizzle lemon juice over top. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the peaches and gently toss to coat. Let sit for 15 minutes.

Divide the peaches amongst six wine glasses. Pour red wine into the glasses and let sit between 30 minutes to 2 hours. (The longer they sit, the more the wine flavor is infused into the peaches)
