                Ginger amaretto ice cream with sour cherry peach compote


Isnt that a delightful menu?  Here is a recipe from this class:
 
Heart of Summer Fruit Compote
4          fresh peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges
2          bags sweet or sour cherries, pitted
½         cup brown/cane/palm sugar or to taste
½         cup water
½         cup red wine
            pinch of salt
            zest of an organic orange
            dash of vanilla bean paste

Combine fruit, sugar, water, wine and orange zest in a heavy skillet and bring to a simmer over medium heat.  Reduce heat and cook until sauce is thick and syrupy and delicious.  Allow to cool and then chill until ready to serve.  Lovely as a garnish for savory lamb, goat, wild boar, or as a sweet treat on its own or spooned over ice cream.  Full on yum.
 
Eat Well, Be Well,
