1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
45 0 ml; (10fl oz) white wine
; (a white Burgandy
; or a dry Muscat
; would be good)
1 Vanilla pod
1 Cinnamon stick; broken into 2 or 3
; pieces to release
; the flavours
5 tablespoons Caster sugar
Twirl of lemon zest
5 Lightly crushed juniper berries
8 larges Ripe peaches

Directions

Put the spices, sugar and wine into a large pan and bring slowly to the boil to dissolve the sugar.

Simmer to amalgamate the flavours whilst you skin the peaches (blanch for 2 or 3 mintues in boiling water and then drop into iced water– the skins will peel off). Lower the peaches into the hot spiced wine and cook for about 4 to 8 minutes, dependant on how ripe the fruits are, until they are tender– test with a skewer. Remove the peaches and put into a bowl to cool.

Refrigerate.

Boil the wine down hard to reduce by half to a thicker syrup. Cool and strain, reserve the spices.

Pour the syrup over the peaches and chill until required. Serve with a little of the syrup, some of the reserved spices and a scoop of cinnamon ice cream. (for the cinnamon ice cream see seperate recipe) Converted by MC_Buster.
