Poached Peaches

Poached Peaches

1 cup water
sparkling or white wine
4 whole perfect peaches
thick cream, to serve

Instructions

Place sugar, water and wine in a saucepan and stir to dissolve sugar.
Add peaches and bring slowly to boil.
Simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the peaches are softening but not a bit mushy.
Cool in the liquid.
Remove the peaches and slip off the skins.
Pour poaching liquid over fruit and serve with thick cream.

Notes

Lyndey’s Note: For a truly sensational sorbet, puree poached peaches with their poaching liquor. Freeze and, when solid, cut into chunks and process in a food processor until smooth. Refreeze. Each peach, with poaching liquid makes about 4 scoops of sorbet.
