Flaming Peaches

• 6 large ripe peaches
• 50 g/2 oz butter
• 3

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and drop the peaches into it for five seconds or until the peel will come off them easily. Lift them out, peel them, cut them in half, and remove the stones.

Melt the butter in a large frying pan, or two small ones, and put the peach halves in, cut side down. Shake them over a moderately high heat until just beginning to brown. Turn all the peaches
