Notes
Store extra peach puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
For best results, use yellow peaches that are ripe but still firm.
White peaches can work as a substitute, though they create a milder flavor.
Frozen peaches work in a pinch - thaw them completely before blending.
Prosecco can be replaced with other sparkling wines, but true Bellinis use Prosecco.
