At first glance, there wasn't much to modify in this recipe. Peaches and red wine are both already very healthful ingredients. I did end up changing everything, however.
Modified:
- Red Wine - Mario used Primitivo, an Italian wine not easily found out here in the hinterland, so I used an inexpensive Malbec in it's place
- Peaches – Not really a change on my part - the recipe said to peel them, but the picture showed the peels on. I followed the recipe & peeled them, though it would’ve been fine to use them unpeeled since the peaches I had on hand were organic.
Swapped:
- 86ed the white sugar & used agave syrup instead. I was able to use less of it since it was already reduced.
- Didn’t use a clove because neither Mario’s on-air segment nor the recipe when it first was posted on The Chew website made any mention of it. Now all of a sudden it mentions you might want one – I concur. The syrup’s flavor profile would’ve been enhanced had a clove been simmered in the reduction.
Kept:
Fresh ground black pepper
This was already a delicious and healthier alternative to a processed, high fat, high fructose dessert. Ozzifying it by substituting agave sweetener for white sugar makes it even better.
