"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Cranberry Coupe Melba

 

Ingredients

6 ripe medium peaches
2 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 tbsp kirsch
6 scoops vanilla ice cream, about 1 1, /2 pints



 

Preparation

1. Blanch peaches in boiling water 30 seconds. Immediately rinse
with cold running water; drain well. Peel peaches; cut in half;
remove and discard pits. 2. Heat 2 cups water, the sugar and vanilla
in medium saucepan to boiling; boil, stirring occasionally, 5
minutes. Sugar should be completely dissolved. Add peach halves;
poach until tender but still firm, about 10 minutes. Remove peaches
with slotted spoon to bowl, reserving syrup; refrigerate until cold,
about 1 hour. 3. Add cranberries to syrup. Heat to boiling; reduce
heat. Simmer 10 minutes. Puree mixture in food processor or blender;
stir in kirsh. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour. 4. At
serving time, stand 2 peach halves upright in each of 6 stemmed
glasses; place a scoop of ice cream between halves; spoon cranberry
puree over ice cream. NOTES: If fresh peaches aren't available, you
can used canned freestone (Elberta) peaches. The cranberry puree has
a nubby texture; if you want a smoother sauce, press puree through
fine-mesh sieve to remove bits of skin.
