  • About

This simple peach dessert can be made very successfully with nectarines or even apricots, though it is especially good with the last of the season’s peaches, which are slightly more woolly and therefore able to absorb the wine and the other flavours more easily (and aren’t as pleasant to eat raw as earlier ones).

Ingredients

  • 15 g/½ oz/1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
  • 6

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas 5 and grease an ovenproof dish. Cut the peaches in half. Remove and discard the stones or pits. Scoop out half of the flesh and transfer to a bowl.
