Time 1h5m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen peaches, thawed
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen strawberries, thawed
1 (16-ounce) bag frozen blueberries or blackberries, thawed

Steps:

  • Stir the sugar and water in a large saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Puree the peaches and orange peel in a blender with 1/2 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a fine-meshed strainer and into a bowl. Cover and refrigerate. In a clean blender puree the strawberries with 1/3 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a clean fine-meshed strainer and into another bowl. Discard the seeds. Puree the blueberries in a clean blender with 1/3 cup of the sugar syrup until smooth. Strain through a clean fine-meshed strainer and into a third bowl. Discard the seeds and solids. Pour each of the purees into clear glass bowls or small pitchers.
  • For each serving, pour 2 to 4 tablespoons of the desired fruit puree into a Champagne flute. Slowly pour enough Prosecco into the flute to fill. Gently stir to blend. Garnish with the whole berries, as desired, and serve.
  • Do-Ahead Tip: The fruit purees can each be made 1 day ahead. Cover separately and refrigerate.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 10-ounce packages frozen raspberries in syrup, thawed
1 12-ounce can frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
3 750-ml bottles chilled Prosecco
Fresh raspberries
Lemon slices

Steps:

  • Puree raspberries in blender or processor until smooth. Strain into 2-cup pitcher, discarding seeds. Pour thawed lemonade concentrate into another 2-cup pitcher. (Raspberry puree and lemonade concentrate can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Pour 2 to 4 tablespoons raspberry puree or lemonade concentrate into each Champagne flute (amount will depend on size of glass and personal preference). Slowly fill flutes with Prosecco.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe peaches: The quality of your peaches will have a big impact on the flavor of your bellini. Choose peaches that are fragrant, have a deep color, and give slightly to the touch.
  • Peel and pit the peaches before pureeing them: This will help to create a smooth, consistent puree.
  • Use chilled prosecco or champagne: Cold prosecco or champagne will help to keep your bellini refreshing and bubbly.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice: Lemon juice will help to balance the sweetness of the peaches and add a bit of tartness.
  • Garnish with a peach slice or a raspberry: This will add a touch of elegance and make your bellini even more inviting.
