Notes
- I make the peaches the previous day so they soak up the syrup and are nice and chilled when I serve them.
- After poaching the peaches, don’t discard the syrup in which you poached them. After finishing the peaches, put the syrup back on the fire and simmer until it reduces by half. Use this syrup to top ice cream, pancakes and cakes.
