    6                    Ripe peaches
      1/3   c            Sugar
    8                    Italian macaroons -- crushed
                         -such as Amaretti di Saronno
    1                    Egg yolk
    4       tb           Unsalted butter -- melted
 
   Try this with white peaches, if available, for a subtle variation on the
   original.
   
   PREHEAT THE OVEN TO 350F and set a rack in the middle level. Rinse, halve
   and pit the peaches. Puree 2 of the peach halves in a food processor. Place
   the puree in a bowl and add the sugar, crushed macaroons and the egg yolk.
   Cover each peach half with this filling and place the peach halves in a
   buttered baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining butter over the peaches and
   bake for about 30 minutes, until the peaches are baked through and the
   filling is a deep golden color. Serve hot or at room temperature.
