Description
The aroma of fruits in Venice is often as compelling as their lush taste. "The fragrance of ripe peaches is enhanced by baking them with a filling of amaretti," Francesco says.
Ingredients
| 14 | cookies ( amaretti cookies ) | |
| 2 | T | (40 ml) amaretto liqueur |
| 3 | T | butter ((50 g) soft unsalted butter) |
| 4 | large ripe peaches | |
| 1 2⁄3 | c | wine ( (340 ml) dry white wine) |
| Whipped cream or ice cream (optional) |
Instructions
Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits. Mound a spoonful of the amaretto mixture in the center of each. Place the peaches, cut side up, in a baking dish.
Pour wine into the dish, place the dish in the oven, and bake 40 to 45 minutes. Allow to cool about 30 minutes, then serve while still warm with whipped cream or ice cream on the side.
