Ingreadient
- 4 ripe peaches
- 2 tbsp clear honey
- 2 tbsp light brown soft sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla bean paste
- 150ml Waitrose Pure Apple Juice
- 8 sprig/s thyme, plus more to serve (optional)
- Amaretti biscuits, to serve
- Vanilla ice cream or sweetened crème fraîche, to serve
Step by step
- Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Halve the peaches and remove the stones. Stir together the honey, sugar, vanilla and 2 tbsp of the apple juice. Put the peaches in a small roasting tin or gratin dish. The halves must lie in a single layer, cut-side up. Spoon the sugar mixture over the peaches, then scatter over the thyme.
- Heat the remaining apple juice in a small pan over a medium heat until just below boiling, then pour it around the peaches.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the peaches are soft and have caramelised in patches. You might need longer – it depends on how ripe they are. Spoon the cooking juices around the peaches and serve with the amaretti, ice cream or slightly sweetened crème fraîche, and a sprig of thyme, if liked.
