Ease of Preparation: Easy
Time of Preparation: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 1 kilogram prepared fresh fruit (2 pounds)
- Such as peaches, cherries, redcurrants, cherries, strawberries, blueberries
- 600 millilitres medium sugar syrup (5 ½ fluid ounces)
- Squeeze of lemon juice
Method:
Peel the nectarines or peaches, dropping them into a bowl of cold water with lemon juice to prevent them from discolouring. Keep the skins aside.
Put the peeled, halved peaches into a pot of simmering syrup and cook for about 6 minutes. Meanwhile, de-stone the cherries, and then add them to the peaches. Leave to simmer for approximately 2 minutes. Add the red currants, hulled strawberries and blueberries. Cook for 2 minutes.
Remove the fruit from the syrup and set aside in a bowl. Add the peach skins to the syrup and boil rapidly for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the flavour to come out of the peels and the syrup to reduce. Sieve the syrup and pour it over the poached fruit. Serve warm or chilled.
