Ingredients
Method
- Pare and slice half a dozen fine ripe peaches, arrange them in a dish, strew them with pounded sugar, and pour over them two or three glasses of champagne: other wine may be used, but this is best.
- Persons who prefer brandy can substitute it for wine.
- The quantity of sugar must be proportioned to the sweetness of the fruit.
