OVEN BAKED AMARETTO PEACHES


Welcome back to the Italian Grandma Duck Kitchen. 
Today I will post one of my fav recipes of all time: oven backed amaretto peaches. This is an easy and healthy dessert, perfect during colder months.

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes 

Ingredients:
  • 5 yellow peaches
  • Amaretti di Saronno
  • 1/2 glass of white wine
  • 1/2 glass of Marsala (alternatively Port or Sherry)
  • 1 spoon of sugar


Method:
  • Preheat the oven for 10 minutes at 180 degree Celsius 
  • Crumble the Amaretti
  • Wash 4 peaches and cut them in half, pit the peach and with a spoon create a little hole where the pit was
  • Wash and peel the fifth peach and cut the flesh in small pieces
  • Put the flesh of the fifth peach in a bowl with the crumbled amaretti. Add a little bit of Marsala and mix everything together
  • Use this mixture to fill the other four peaches
  • Put the peaches in a tray in the oven, add the wine mixed with the sugar, and add a little bit of butter on the top of the peaches
  • Cook in the oven for 30 minutes 
  • Serve the peaches warm

And here some pics of how it turned out for me:
