Peach and Walnut Parcels

Deep-frying pastry produces results that you can never achieve in an oven. And if you use groundnut oil you can avoid the pervasive smell of frying with which some oils fill the house. These are crisp little parcels with an excellent filling made with a dried peach purée and walnuts, and spiced with cloves. Make them a little in advance and keep them warm. They are lovely with cream.
