Bellini Basics
The true Bellini is Zen-like in it's simplicity -- a mixture of white peach puree and Prosecco. That said, there are many variations and offshoots. If you can't get white peach puree or white peaches to
make your own puree, you can use canned peach nectar instead. It's not nearly as good as the real thing... sometimes. In other words, it's better to use canned peach nectar than peach puree made from flavorless or out of season peaches.
While Prosecco (an dry Italian sparkling wine) was used in Giuseppi Cipriani's original Bellini, you can also any dry Champagne or sparkling wine. Making Bellinis is a great way to use up your leftover New Year's Eve bubbly.
The recipe links below will give you proper proportions for a classic Bellini as well as some interesting variations on the original concept.
