Spiced Peaches
A delicious edible gift or perfect to serve with vegan charcuterie
Equipment
- 2 ¾ litre kilner jars, sterilised or one 1½ litre jar
Ingredients
- 10 Peaches - I used small, but if using large, then you will only need 6
- Whole Cloves
- 570 ml Water
- 350 g White sugar
- 2 Cinnamon sticks, - broken
- ⅛ tsp Nutmeg - grated
- 100 ml Brandy
Instructions
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel the peaches, and remove any little bits of stalk left.
- Meanwhile, add the water, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large pan and bring to a gentle simmer to dissolve the sugar.
- Stud each peach with 2 cloves and place them carefully in the sugar water.
- Simmer for 10-15 minutes or until tender but not mushy. This will vary depending on the size of the fruit.
- Once tender, carefully lift the peaches using a slotted spoon and place in your prepared jar(s).
- Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks.
- Stir the brandy into the sugar syrup, stir well, then pour this over the peaches, covering them completely.
- Leave to cool completely before sealing and storing for a couple in a cool place before serving.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
