How to prepare Chilled Peach Cups with Dolcetto
To prepare the chilled peach cups with Dolcetto, start by washing and drying the peaches. Then peel them 1 and cut them into small cubes of about 0.4 inches per side 2. Set aside. Then soak the gelatin in cold water for about 10 minutes 3.
Meanwhile, take a high-sided saucepan and pour in the Dolcetto 4, sugar 5, and zest of an untreated lemon (about 0.35 oz) 6. Heat over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. You can help dissolve it with a spoon.
At this point, remove the lemon peels 7 and add the now-soaked gelatin 8. Stir it for a few seconds to melt it completely, and when it's dissolved, turn off the heat and let it cool to room temperature. Finally, take four glasses with a capacity of 1.5 cups and place 2.8 oz of peaches in each 9.
Pour the Dolcetto into each glass 10, taking care to fill them up to 0.4 inches from the edge of the glass. Then place the glasses in the refrigerator to solidify for at least 2 hours. Before serving, remove from the refrigerator and garnish with a few mint leaves 11. Now, all that is left is to enjoy your chilled peach cups with Dolcetto 12!
