Peaches in Port
"This is heavenly! It's easy to make and is a lovely ending to any meal. Perfect to serve company! I thought it tasted even better the second day, as the peaches and port wine melded together, making a very light and smooth dessert. Or maybe you want to use it as one of your fruit groups for the day like I did! LOL I found this recipe in the cookbook Applehood & Motherpie, handpicked recipes from Upstate New York, from the Junior League of Rochester. Mmmm. Enjoy! (Chill time is listed as Cook Time in the recipe.)"

I live near Rochester NY with my husband and our 18-year-old cat, Fluffy. It's actually Fluffy's house, but he allows us to live here as long as we pamper him and feed him generously. Our daughter, Kree, whom some of you know from Zaar, is also living with us again while she begins a new business venture in real estate. She's the one who got me hooked on Zaar and taught me to try new recipes rather than stay in the cooking rut I was in.
In my free time I like to take long rides or sit by the water, both of which I find very relaxing. I also like to do counted cross-stitch and read. I dabble in photography, always looking for that elusive 'perfect' shot. I did more cooking before I started working full-time, and plan to again when I retire (still years away, but dreaming).
