Zabaglione is an Italian dessert sauce traditionally flavored with Marsala wine. We use a fruity California riesling for a fresh twist. For an even richer and thicker sauce, you could use a late-harvest semillon or sauvignon blanc. Ingredients:
4 cups pitted sweet cherries (about 1 1/2 pounds) |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon water |
3 large egg yolks |
1/4 cup riesling or other slightly sweet white wine |
Directions:
1. Divide cherries evenly among each of 6 small dessert bowls.
2. Combine 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and egg yolks in the top of a double boiler, stirring well with a whisk. Stir in wine. Cook over simmering water until thick and mixture reaches 160° (about 8 minutes), stirring constantly with a whisk. Serve warm over cherries.
