This 18th century Chinese recipe takes the full advantage of the Saturn peaches* and their delicate flavor. It makes a great starter course hot or cold. It looked so good that I had to post it here for safe keeping. It comes from our local newspaper. *You may substitute another variety of fresh peach, but canned peaches will not work in the recipe.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 cups peach juice or water
2 tablespoons butter (the Chinese use lard)
