Fresh Peach Bellinis Food

FRESH PEACH BELLINI

Steps:

• Puree the peaches in a blender until smooth.
• If the peaches are really ripe this should happen without a problem; but if they are not that ripe peel and slice them, place them in a bowl and sprinkle them with a Tbs or so of sugar. Let it sit for 10 min or so to draw some of the juices from the peaches and add a little sweetness.
• Pour puree into a bowl and chill until ready to use.
• Mix 2 oz of peach puree with 4 oz of Champagne, stir to combine and serve in chilled flutes.
• You can also combine the two in a pitcher, mix and serve (we found this a little easier for our large group).
