Peaches with Raspberry Sauce
Buy very ripe peaches with a sweet aroma for this dessert. Frozen raspberries make an excellent sauce, or you can use a mixture of other soft red fruits. Serve with light almond biscuits if desired.
Ingredients
- 4 ripe peaches
- 8 oz frozen raspberries
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Kirsch or Cointreau optional
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Sprigs of fresh mint for garnish
Instructions
- To make the sauce, put all the frozen raspberries in a covered pan, along with the sugar. Warm over a low heat for 5 minutes until the raspberries have thawed, and the sugar has dissolved in their juice.
- Press the raspberry mixture through a sieve into a bowl and stir in the optional liqueur. Leave the sauce in the refrigerator to chill.
- Put the peaches in a large pan, pour over boiling water and leave them to stand for 1 minute, then drain and allow them to cool.
- Peel off their skins, and sprinkle with lemon juice to stop them discolouring.
- Arrange the peaches on serving plates, whole or sliced without the stone, and pour the sauce around them. Garnish with the fresh mint sprigs and serve.
