    Ingredients

    150g caster sugar
    6 ripe peaches/nectarines
    3 limes, zest of 1, juice of 2, 1 sliced

    Method

    1. Put 600ml water in a saucepan with the sugar. Bring to the boil, stirring to dissolve, then reduce the temperature and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring now and then. Meanwhile, use a sharp vegetable peeler to peel the peaches and/or nectarines. Halve and take out the stones, then cut the fruit into small pieces.
