COLD PEACH SOUP
January 4, 2021
It’s January on Long Island and the sunset is at 4:38 pm. The cold is seeping into my bones when I walk the yard. So why am I putting up a recipe for cold peach soup? I need to….. I need to feel the warm afternoon sun in July pouring through my kitchen windows as I peel fresh peaches and they drip all over my hands.
This recipe is perfect for brunch shots or summer desert- in fact it is a spectacular cold soup/smoothie/dessert/chic brunch food. And… Did I mention no cooking?
My only recommendation-- double the recipe - you just will not believe how good it tastes. My caveat - you can only make it when peaches are in season. Store bought out of season just is a waste of time.

BLUEBERRY FOOL
February 25, 2021
From Martha Stewart's Kitchen:
Serves: 6
For a creamy, thick fool with defined streaks of purée serve it the same day. For a more ethereal, mousse-like texture, you can chill it overnight. The color from the purée will gradually bleed into the whipped cream as the fool chills, but it will still be pretty.
​
2 cups frozen wild blueberries, thawed or fresh
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
7 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
2 cups heavy cream
​
1. Combine blueberries, lemon juice, cinnamon, 4 tablespoons sugar and salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until blueberries burst and become very soft, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to a food processor and purée. Pour into a fine sieve set over a bowl, stirring and pressing on solids to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and refrigerate purée until cold and thickened slightly, at least 1 hour and , covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 day.
​
2. Whisk or beat cream with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar to soft peaks in a large, wide bowl. Drizzle purée evenly over cream and fold cream over purée twice with a large rubber spatula or wooden spoon just until purée is streaked through-out cream. (Do not over-mix.) Transfer to a large serving bowl or individual serving dishes and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and, covered with plastic wrap, up to 1 day. Serve cold.

Kaki's Coop tip: Serve with a few frozen blueberries on top.
