Ingredients

4-5 ripe nectarines (or the equivalent in weight of plums, peaches, berries, cherries or any combination thereof)

1 C. Riesling or other sweet, fruity wine

5 T. butter

4 eggs

1/2 C. sugar

1/8 t. salt

1/2 C. flour

1 C. milk or soy milk

1 T. vanilla

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.

Cut fruit into 1/4-inch wedges (or pit and halve cherries) and macerate in a bowl with the wine for 15 minutes. Leave peels on fruit - they add to a colorful presentation.

Melt butter in a medium-sized pot over low heat. Remove from heat and cool slightly.

Whisk in eggs, sugar, salt. Whisk in flour until combined well.

Whisk in, until smooth, milk butter, vanilla, and 1/4 C. wine from the fruit mix.

Transfer fruit to bottom of baking dish using a slotted spoon. Pour batter over fruit (fruit will float to top). (The rest of the wine the fruit soaked in can now be used for sangria or just sipped straightaway!)

Bake in upper third of the oven until puffed and set in the center, 55-60 minutes.

Transfer clafouti to a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

So - how much flour? It wasn't listed in your ingredient list.

Oh my goodness! Thanks blu486 for catching that! This is what I get for submitting recipes when I am late and already supposed to be walking out the door. But I'm a grouprecipes addict... "Just one... more... recipe..."
I've edited the recipe now and all the ingredients are listed!

YAY! YAY! YAY! Three cheers for clafouti!! YAY!!!! You know, we actually mixed some amount of blueberry juice with Jack Daniels (more juice, with some whiskey added), and then substituted that combination for the cup of wine. My thought was that it would have some of the fruitiness of the wine while also packing a punch with the whiskey. xo

A great sounding variation on a favorite brunch dish...5 for Clafouti in any variety!

One time at a slumber party my friends and I made clafouti. One of our number was allergic to sulfites, so she couldn't have wine. So, in addition to one clafouti made with plums soaked in Riesling, we made a second one with blueberries soaked in Jack Daniels! It was fantastic. So get creative!
