Floating Olive Branch
Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wine Pickled Peaches

Serves 6 

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup Pedro Ximenez Sherry Wine Vinegar 

1/2 cup water 

1/4 cup granulated sugar 

1/2 teaspoon Fleur de Sel 

1 teaspoon whole cloves 

1 teaspoon cardamom pods 

2 cinnamon sticks 

2-3 fresh peaches, pit removed and quartered 

Instructions 

Place vinegar, water, sugar, salt, cloves, cardamom, and cinnamon sticks in a medium, non-reactive saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt have dissolved, about 5-8 minutes.

Place in the refrigerator and chill overnight before serving.
