Peach thyme Bellini

Peach Thyme Bellini
Serves 8 - 10
1/2 pound peaches, about 5, peeled and chopped (approximately 3 cups chopped)
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
10 sprigs of fresh thyme, plus additional for garnish
Sliced peaches, for garnish
2 bottles of Prosecco or sparkling wine

In a heavy saucepan, heat the peaches, sugar, lemon juice, and thyme sprigs over medium heat until the mixture is thick and syrupy, approximately 8 – 10 minutes. Remove the peach mixture from heat and allow the mixture cool. Remove the thyme sprigs and discard. Purée the peach mixture in a blender until smooth.

Spoon three tablespoons of the peach purée into a champagne flute. Pour in prosecco or sparking wine and stir until combined. Serve cold.

The peach purée can be made up to 2 days in advance. This recipe can easily be halved, just adjust the amount of sugar according to your taste and the ripeness of the peaches.
