    Ingredients

    4 Waitrose Perfectly Ripe Peaches
    25g butter
    Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, plus 2 tbsp juice
    4 tbsp clear honey
    40g flaked almonds
    ½ tsp ground cinnamon
    4 tsp caster sugar
    170ml tub double cream
    1 tsp rosewater (find in the baking aisle)

    Method

    1. Preheat the oven to 200˚C, gas mark 6. Halve and stone the peaches and place, cut-side face up in a shallow baking dish. Dot the butter into the cavities. Sprinkle with the lemon zest then drizzle with the lemon juice and honey. Bake for about 25 minutes until the peaches are tender and just beginning to colour around the edges.

    2. Scatter the almonds, cinnamon and 2 teaspoons of the sugar in a small, dry frying pan and heat gently for 3–4 minutes, shaking the pan frequently until the almonds are golden. Tip on to a sheet of greaseproof paper and leave to cool.

    3. Whip the cream in a bowl with the remaining sugar and the rosewater until softly peaking. Turn into a bowl and chill.

    4. To serve, spoon the peaches on to serving plates and drizzle with the cooking juices. Spoon the cream on top and scatter with the almonds.
