About

This is a very simple, refreshing dessert for those hot days when peaches are at the height of their season. You can also use nectarines, which needn’t be peeled.

Ingredients

8 medium-sized, ripe, firm peaches, peeled
300 g (10½ oz)

Method

If you can halve the peaches and remove the stone without squashing the peaches before slicing them, then do so. If the peaches are a little soft, cut thick slices toward the stone, then cut those slices away from the stone. Put the slices into a bowl and sprinkle with the sugar. Cover and leave in the fridge to macerate for at least an hour or so.

Add the wine, gently toss the peaches
