| SPICED PEACHES IN CHAMPAGNE |
|
| Well it's that time of the year when a young man's fancy turns to...CHAMPAGNE AND PEACHES. This reminds me of the evening when Sister Cook nearly put out her beau's eye with a champagne cork. That was about as close to physical contact as they ever got. Anyway, here's a recipe guaranteed to make you want to lock lips and throw away the key. |

Ingredients:
|
| 4 medium size fresh peaches, peeled
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups water
8 whole cloves
6 whole allspice
2 sticks cinnamon
2 oz. Neufchatel cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon skim milk
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup dry champagne |

Instructions:
|
| Brush peaches with lemon juice and set aside. Combine water and next 3 ingrediants in a large saucepan. Bring to boil and cook 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add peaches. Cook until tender. Remove peaches with slotted spoon and let cool. Strain spice mixture, discarding spices. Return liquid to saucepan; cook over medium high heat or until mixture is reduced to 1/2 cup. Remove from heat. Cover and chill.
Combine cheese, sugar, milk and cardamom in a small bowl. Stir well until mixture is smooth. Wine is a powerful aphrodisiac, although William Shakespeare in his play Macbeth says of wine, "It provokes the desire but it takes away the performance." |

Why are these guys dressed as women? And what do they know of cooking? The late
Laban Johnson (left) and Larry Bly were long-time hosts of Cookin’ Cheap on
Roanoke’s PBS television station. They sometimes dressed up as the Cook Sisters
for yuks. Here they carry on with their recipes, many of which came from their
loyal viewers.
