Fresh Peaches In Sauternes Soak With Angelica And Lavender - cooking recipe

Ingredients

8 fresh lavender, heads rinsed
8 fresh angelica leaves, wiped
8 ripe peaches, peeled, stones removed, sliced
375 ml Sauternes wine or 375 ml similar sweet dessert wine, chilled
creme fraiche, to serve

Preparation

Arrange the peach slices into the bottom of a large serving dish. Sprinkle over the lavender heads and then add the angelica leaves.
Pour over enough dessert wine to cover the peaches. Turn the peach slices over a couple of times to coat them in the liquid, then cover the dish and chill the mixture in the fridge for at least four hours, or preferably overnight.
To serve, spoon a portion of peaches in Sauternes into each of six serving bowls. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche.
