Title: Poached Peaches in Spiced Wine with Cinnamon Ice Cream Categories: Tessa's, Tastebuds Yield: 1 servings 45 0 ml; (10fl oz) white wine ; (a white Burgandy ; or a dry Muscat ; would be good) 1 Vanilla pod 1 Cinnamon stick; broken into -2 or 3 ; pieces to release ; the flavours 5 tb Caster sugar Twirl of lemon zest 5 Lightly crushed juniper -berries 8 lg Ripe peaches Put the spices, sugar and wine into a large pan and bring slowly to the boil to dissolve the sugar. Simmer to amalgamate the flavours whilst you skin the peaches (blanch for 2 or 3 mintues in boiling water and then drop into iced water– the skins will peel off). Lower the peaches into the hot spiced wine and cook for about 4 to 8 minutes, dependant on how ripe the fruits are, until they are tender– test with a skewer. Remove the peaches and put into a bowl to cool. Refrigerate. Boil the wine down hard to reduce by half to a thicker syrup. Cool and strain, reserve the spices. Pour the syrup over the peaches and chill until required. Serve with a little of the syrup, some of the reserved spices and a scoop of cinnamon ice cream.
