This is a French dessert that is so easy
and so elegant - very gourmet. My husband gave this a "10" rating. Be sure and
try Peches au vin when fresh peaches are in season.
This recipe was shared with me by Patti Scaramuzzo. Patti says,
"All that I know about this recipe is that it is something that my parents had when we lived in France (1968-1973). It was also something that my father's family did. Whether it was a cool 70's idea (like pigs in a blanket) or a family thing, I'm not sure. Let's pretend it's a family thing.....
He was born in Poitiers, France and lived in both Paris and Ambares (in the Bordeaux region). They spent most summers at the house in Ambares, so I expect this is a typical French, summer dessert -- refreshing and summer-like."
