The Blushing Peach Dessert is a perfect way to end any summer meal. The canned peach slices are simmered in a flavorful mixture of port wine, red currant jelly, cinnamon, and sugar. The addition of brandy and Angostura bitters adds a touch of sophistication to this simple dessert. The dish gets its name from the pinkish hue that the peaches take on from the wine and jelly. It is best served chilled and accompanied by a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Instructions

1.	In a medium saucepan, combine port wine, red currant jelly, sugar and cinnamon. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the jelly has melted.
2.	Add the peach slices and cherries to the pan and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
3.	Remove from heat and pour in the brandy and Angostura bitters. Stir to combine.
4.	Allow the mixture to cool before placing it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
5.	Serve chilled with whipped cream.
