BOOZY AMARETTI PEACHES

By contrast to the ever so healthy salad in our last food post, this one is a little cheekier. It’s also very easy to put together and will no doubt have those who you feed it to, asking for more… greedy buggers! 😉

You will need:

• 4 Ripe peaches
• A punnet of raspberries
• 50g of butter
• 1 Spoonful of honey
• 15 medium sized amaretti biscuits
• Some sweet dessert wine, or rum will also work- a small glass approx
• Salted caramel ice cream

Here’s what to do:

• Heat your oven to 180 degrees.
• Halve the peaches and remove the stone from the centre. Put them in an oven proof dish skin side down.
• Crush the biscuits until they are like breadcrumbs. Having a spare sealable freezer bag on hand allows a great moment of stress relief while you pummel the biscuits!
• Gently melt the butter in a small pan.
• Add the honey and half the glass of wine.
• Now add the crushed biscuits but save a small handful for later. stir through until you have a fairly thick consistency then remove from the heat.
• Place a spoonful of this biscuit mixture on each peach, filling the cavity where you removed the stone.
• Sprinkle a little of the remaining crushed biscuits on each peach.
• Pour the remaining wine into the bottom of the dish of peaches.
• Cook for 20-30 minutes until golden brown.
• When ready, remove them from the oven, arrange two or three on a plate or bowl and pour a little of the juices from the the oven dish around the peaches.
• Scatter some fresh raspberries around them and just before you serve it place a scoop of salted caramel ice cream on top.

Go on, try it… You know you want to.
