This was an excellent & elegant dessert. I was a little hesitant about the pits & stems part, but it was like making cherry stock! Also instead of drizzling the yogurt mixture at the end, I spooned three quinelles (TBS) of peach sorbet in the middle of bowl which made a beautiful presentation - 7/12/09
