Directions
01
In high-speed blender, place pitted and peeled peaches. Cut passion fruits in half and scoop pulp into sieve. Scrape pulp through sieve into blender bowl using spatula, extracting as much juice as possible. Cut vanilla bean in half, lengthwise, and with the sharp point of knife, scrape seeds from bean and add to blender. Whirl at high speed, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally, until mixture is fully blended and pureu0301ed.
02
Divide mixture among individual Mason jars large enough to fill them half full. Top with lids but do not twist shut. Place in freezer and freeze. Once frozen, twist caps tight.
03
Remove from freezer and thaw jars just until fruit is slushy. Uncap lids and pour sparkling wine or sparkling water into jars to almost full. Stir each and serve with spoons.
