Moroccan Peaches - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 large peaches, ripe
3 tablespoons superfine sugar
8 teaspoons rose water
fresh mint leaves, to decorate

Preparation

Peel the peaches (dip them in boiling water for a few seconds if the skin is reluctant to come away easily); cut each one in half round the circumference, then twist the halves apart and remove the stones.
Slice the peaches into a serving bowl, sprinkle with sugar and rosewater then cover the bowl with cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours to let the flavours develop.
Serve decorated with mint leaves.
