Germany:

The northernmost wine-producing country in Europe, Germany’s cool climates are mostly suitable for white grapes. The best vineyards are situated along rivers such as the Rhine and the Mosel, which temper the extremes of weather and help the grapes ripen. German wines are named after the places they come from, usually a combination of a village name, a vineyard name, and a grape name. German law makes no distinctions of quality between vineyards. As a result, many wines are mass-produced. Look for the classification QbA or QmP to assure that the grower is reputable. The finest wines are given a Prädikat, which is an indication of the ripeness of the grapes at harvest. There are six levels of Prädikat; in order from the least ripe to the ripest they are Kabinett, Spätlese, Auslese, Beerenauslese (BA) Eiswein, and Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA). At the three highest levels, the amount of sugar in the grapes is so high that the wines are inevitably sweet, but since Prädikat is an indication of the amount of sugar in the grape at harvest (and not in the wine) the lower levels of Prädikat offer no direct hint about the wine’s sweetness.

Peach Jelly Roll

Rated

Ingredients

3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
6 tbsp peach jam
powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease a 12 x 8-inch jelly roll pan and line with baking parchment. Combine the eggs and sugar in a large, clean bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until thick and mousse-like (when the beaters are lifted a trail should remain on the surface of the mixture for approximately 15 seconds).

Carefully fold in the flour with a large metal spoon, then add 1 tbsp boiling water in the same way.

Spoon into the prepared pan, spread evenly to the edges and bake for 10- 12 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

Spread a sheet of waxed paper on a flat surface, sprinkle it with sugar, then invert the cake on top. Carefully peel off the lining paper.

Neatly trim the edges of the cake. Make a neat cut two-thirds of the way through the cake, about an inch from the short edge nearest you.

Spread the cake with the peach jam and roll up quickly from the partially cut end. Hold in position for a minute, making sure the seam is on the bottom. Cool completely on a wire rack. Decorate with glaze or simply dust with powdered sugar before serving.
