Peaches in Muscat from Nigella

MarraMamba's Note:

One of the most simple summer desserts, peaches macerated in the sweet wine muscat and served in a glass if you like or a bowl. 2 ingredients with a 3rd optional, nigella lawson does it again. I suggest checking out the picture at http://www.cookstr.com/recipes/peaches-in-muscat for a serving suggestion. time does not include refridgeration time but it can be 1 - 6 hours if you wish to get your dessert out of the way early. Otherwise you can, as nigella suggests also put a plate of ripe peaches and bottle of muscat on the table

• Total Time: 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 4 peaches , ripe
• 1 cup sweet dessert wine , muscat preferred
• heavy cream (optional) or ice cream , for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Over a bowl (to catch juices), cut each peach into slices.
2. When all the peaches are sliced, pour in the Muscat wine and make sure the peaches are more or less fully immersed. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 6 hours; sometimes it helps to be able to get stuff done in advance.
3. Remove the peaches to a pretty glass bowl or to individual small glasses and serve — still chilled — with a pitcher of heavy cream or some vanilla ice cream alongside.
