Peaches in Red Wine

(recipe from Marie Claire magazine)

2 cups red wine
3 Tbsp. sugar (I used honey)
1 cinnamon stick
1 2" piece of lemon peel
4 large ripe peaches or 5 nectarines, cut into eighths

In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup red wine with sugar, cinnamon stick, and lemon peel.  When sugar has dissolved, remove from heat and set pan in a bowl of iced water for a few minutes, until cool.  Add remaining wine.

Place peaches in a large bowl or jar and cover with wine mixture.  Chill.  Serve with your favorite cookies.

(Kind of like a sangria dessert!  I just ate the peaches by themselves with some of the wine spooned over.  After a few days in the fridge, the peaches really soak up the spiced wine and are tasty.  Odd, interesting.)
