Braised peaches with lemon & elderflower

In-season stone fruit is so delicious, it doesn’t take much effort to make it into a heavenly pudding. Elderflower and lemon pair beautifully with peaches or apricots, or use 1 tsp almond extract instead of the cordial to go with plums.

Ingredients

  • 1 unwaxed lemon, ½ pared zest, ½ fine zest, juice of all
  • 4 tbsp elderflower cordial
  • 4 peaches, halved
  • 150ml double cream
  • Lotus biscuits or almond thins, to serve

Method

  1. Put 100ml water in a small-medium lidded frying pan with the pared lemon zest, lemon juice and 3 tbsp cordial over a low-medium heat until it starts to boil. Carefully add the peaches, cut-sides down, cover with a lid, turn the heat to low and cook for about 8 minutes, until just tender.

  2. Use tongs to transfer the peaches to a serving dish. Discard the zest, then set the pan back over the heat and bubble the liquor until syrupy (2-3 minutes).

  3. Serve warm or at room temperature. Use a balloon whisk to whip the cream with 1 tbsp of the cordial to soft peaks. Dollop the cream over the peaches and drizzle with syrup. Crumble over the biscuits and scatter with the fine zest.
