--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  75      g             ground almonds
     3/4  cup           ground amaretti
  50      g             sugar
   2                    egg yolks .br or
   1      whole         egg -- beaten
   6                    freestone peaches
                        butter
     1/2  cup           marsala

1.  Combine the sugar, ground almonds and amaretti.

2.  Gradually stir in the beaten egg, adding just enough egg so the mixture
 holds together; don't let it become too wet to hold its shape.

3.  Form the mixture into 12 balls approx. the size of walnuts.

4.  Butter a shallow baking dish. Halve the peaches and remove the pits,
 placing the halves cut-side up in the dish.

5.  Press a ball of the almond mixture into the cavity of each peach half.
 Dot the tops with butter, and drizzle marsala over all.

6.  Bake at 190°C for around 30 mins. until the almond mixture is golden
 and crusty. Serve warm or chilled.

Difficulty    : easy.
Precision     : measure ingredients.
