Melocotones al vino

Melocotones al vino is a traditional dish hailing from Aragon, where the people have been growing a type of yellow-fleshed peach with a sweet flavor since medieval times. For this dish, they are macerated in red wine. The dish is made with large, firm peaches and some sweet white or red wine such as Moscatel. The peaches are blanched, peeled, cut into quarters, and placed into wine glasses. The wine is poured over the peaches and the combination is then left to macerate for a few hours. After some time in the refrigerator, the dessert is ready to be served.
