Bellini
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 to 3/4 lb. ripe white peaches
- 2 tsp. sugar
- 2 raspberries, if desired, for color.
- 1 bottle Prosecco sparkling wine, preferably Nino Franco
- Put water and lemon juice in a bowl.
- Peel, pit, and slice the peaches.
- Immerse them in the acidulated water, so they don't discolor, and macerate for at least 10 minutes or up to 6 hours.
- Drain the peaches, reserving 2 to 3 tablespoons of the liquid.
- In a food processor or blender, puree the peaches with the sugar and reserved liquid.
- Use more sugar if peaches are tart.
- Bear in mind that this is not a sweet drink.
- If the peaches don't have pink veins (which lend a Bellini its rosy hue), add a few raspberries to the mixture before pureeing.
- Transfer mixture to a jar or bottle and chill thoroughly.
- Pour cold peach puree into a pitcher.
- Add one bottle of chilled Prosecco sparkling wine and stir gently.
- Pour into glasses and drink at once.
