Method
1
Place the water and sugar in a deep saucepan. Bring to the boil, then add the stoned peaches and cover with greaseproof paper
- 3 peaches, ripe, stoned
- 1000ml of water
- 300g of caster sugar
2
Turn down to a low heat and leave to simmer until the skin of the peaches can be easily removed. This should take about 5 minutes, depending on the ripeness of the peaches. When ready, remove the pan from the heat and leave to cool
3
Soften the gelatine in iced water for 5 minutes
- 2 gelatine leaves
4
Bring the cream and sugar gently to the boil in a heavy-based saucepan, then add the leaves from the rosemary sprigs
- 350ml of double cream
- 40g of caster sugar
- 6 sprigs of rosemary
5
Add the softened gelatine leaves to the pan and stir to dissolve them. Remove the pan from the heat and leave the mix to cool and infuse for about 5 minutes
6
Once cooled slightly, strain the cream through a sieve and discard the rosemary leaves. Pour the mixture evenly into six dariole moulds and place them in the fridge to set for at least 1 hour
7
Dip the dariole moulds into a pan of hot water for 3 seconds, then turn them upside down in the centre of a plate so that the set creams slide out
8
Skin the peaches and cut into thin slices, as pictured. Arrange the peach slices around the rosemary cream and serve
