BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Plunge peaches in boiling water for 20 seconds, then peel them, using a sharp knife. Mix together water, castor sugar and wine and boil for 20 minutes. Place peaches in boiling liquid for 4 minutes. Chill (not too cold) with a small amount of syrup coating peaches. To make blackberry sauce: puree blackberries with sugar and liqueur. Strain.

Add lemon juice (do not add lemon juice during puree process as it will discolour sauce). Chill. To serve peaches: place each peach on each plate and pour blackberry sauce over. Sue Vesey. Bon-Appetit, Exec.Chef. Magnus Johansson
