Peaches in Muscat

I should have been done this project ages ago, but I still have around 3 recipes to make. Even after having made this one. I feel like this book is growing recipes and I'll never be done. It of course doesn't help that my production line has all but ground to a halt on this project. I'm painting pictures, sewing dresses doing everything BUT cooking it feels like these days. Husband has been picking up the slack there, but him cooking doesn't get the this project done. And I have to tell you I kind of feel like - why did I think this was a good idea? Am I really in my third calendar year of doing this? That's a little bit shameful. But I am finishing. One thing I am good for is coming thru on my word. Generally if I say I'm going to do something I do it - which isn't always a good thing when I'm suddenly stuck by conviction if I've had a few drinks. God knows that my drunk ideas are not usually my best ideas. However those events do usually turn into good stories later down the road of life. Once I'm over the trauma and can laugh off the embarrassment that is. But here I am now with Nigella Express in hand - I can see the finish line but it feels like a mirage. Three bloody recipes to go and it will probably take me 3 bloody weeks to crank them out. But oh the glory I will feel once this is done. Well, perhaps glory isn't the right word..I'm thinking relief, good riddance and thank effing god that's over with I must have been drunk or insane when I had that idea....

Today though I don't get to close the book for good but rather make another check off on yet another recipe "peaches in muscat". All I can say is I am so glad this is absolutely NO effort whatsoever. All I did was cut up a peach and poor booze over it. This is about all the level of effort I had for this today too. As it turns out this is actually highly rewarding in the flavour department. I think I'm becoming a fan of the late harvest vidal which is my north american suburban replacement for a muscat wine. I'm starting to think you can soak any fruit in muscat wine, serve with a variation of cream and it will be delicious. I do recommend this recipe if for no other reason than because we all need to eat more booze soaked fruit.
