Ingredients:
1 c. good quality white wine 1 c. brewed tea 1 c. sugar 2 T. honey 1 3” cinnamon stick 4 whole cloves 3 - 4 lbs. mixed summer fruits such as nectarines, peaches, apricots, plums, pitted and cut into 1” wedges 6 oz. fresh ricotta 6 oz. fresh farmer’s cheese 2 T. honey mint sprigs
Directions:
In a 3-quart saucepan, boil the wine, tea, sugar, honey, and spices for 10 minutes. When the large bubbles on the surface turn to foam when you stir it, a light syrup has formed. Add the fruit, cover and bring to a boil. Remove the lid, stir the fruit and let simmer another 10 to 15 minutes, until it is cooked but not mushy and still in recognizable slices. Let the fruit cool, then chill it. Combine the cheese ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until very smooth. Chill, covered. To serve, put bout 1 cup fo the fruit in elegant stemmed glass bowls or brandy snifters. Using 2 spoons, form the cheese into egg-shaped balls and place one on each serving. Garnish with fresh mint.
