This was so incredibly lovely. Served this for dessert after a Labor Day BBQ for a nice light touch & it got rave reviews from the adults. I used a mixture of figs & a little more wine than called for, but it gave extra syrup to spoon over the ice cream. Next time I might use more nectarines (or peaches, I just didn't want to peel them), but otherwise I wouldn't change a thing. Wishing we could grow figs here & not have to rely on supermarket availability.

This fruit mixture is also great over pound cake or angel food cake. If you have trouble finding late-harvest riesling, try gewürztraminer in its place.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: about 1/2 cup fruit mixture and 1/2 cup ice cream)
