Cold Peach Soup

This is wonderful made with wine from Arizona's own wineries.

4 ripe peaches
2 cups dry white wine
1 cup water
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
3 whole cloves
Orange slices

Plunge peaches in boiling water for 1 minute. Remove skins and pits. Purée in a blender or food processor and transfer purée to an enameled saucepan. Add wine, water, sugar, cinnamon, curry and cloves. Bring to a boil and simmer, stirring, for 10 minutes.

Remove cloves and let soup cool. Chill for at least 4 hours and serve in chilled bowls, garnished with thin slices of orange.
