Cooking tips

Our survival no longer depends on our knowledge of nature's cycles, but there is much to be gained from getting back this lost wisdom. Regardless of technology's advances, the fact remains that food in season is the best. Apples taste better when they haven't been flown half way around the world. And buying in season encourages local producers who, boosted by factors like the rise in farmers' markets, are building a more sustainable food industry.


Buying an Oven : In gas appliances, look for blue flames; yellow flames indicate the gas is burning inefficiently and an adjustment may be needed. Consult your manufacturer or your local utility.

Ingredients And Procedures

1 c Hearty red wine

1/2 c Red raspberry preserves

1 1" x 3" piece of orange zest

1 Cinnamon stick

5 Whole cloves

20 oz Frozen sliced peaches

- (unsweetened) 1 pk Prepared crepes (8-10/pkg)

Warmed vanilla yogurt, opt. -=OR=- Whipped cream, opt. IN A SMALL SAUCEPAN, COMBINE the wine, preserves, orange zest, cinnamon and cloves and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Continue cooking until the preserves are melted and the liquid has thickened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Strain the liquid into a large skillet, transferring the cinnamon stick to the pan. Add the frozen peaches to the liquid and over medium-high heat bring the liquid to a slow boil, carefully separating the frozen slices. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes. Once the liquid returns to a boil, cook until the peaches are just warmed through, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup. Place 2 crepes folded in quarters on each plate. (Leave the extra 2 crepes for seconds.) Spoon the peaches over the crepes and top with vanilla yogurt or softly whipped cream, if desired. Serve at once.
