  
Use the yellow-fleshed freestone peaches
1/2 cup (4 fl oz.) white wine
1/2 cup (3 oz.) sugar
6 ripe peaches, peeled, halved and pitted
12 Amaretti cookies, crushed
1 egg yolk beaten
3 tablespoons cream, whipped
Boil the wine and sugar for 5 minutes to form syrup. Poach the peach halves in the syrup for 5 more minutes, then lift out with a slotted spoon and let cool.
Fold the Amaretti crumbs and egg yolk into the cream. Fill the peach halves with the cream mixture. Arrange on a serving plate and pour the remaining wine syrup around them. In their picture they also have dollops of whipped cream between the peaches.
Serves 6 - Enjoy!
