Ingredients

4 large, ripe peaches
425 ml sweet white wine
2 tbsp clear honey
1 vanilla bean, split

Preparation steps

Put the kettle on and fill a large bowl with ice water.
Place the peaches in another large bowl and pour enough boiling water over them to cover them.
Let sit for 30 seconds, then remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the cold water.
The skins should now come off easily.
Place the wine, honey and vanilla bean in a pan large enough to hold all the peaches.
Heat gently until the honey has dissolved.
Add the peaches to the pan, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, until soft but not too soft.
While cooking, turn the fruit three to four times with two wooden spoons and regularly baste them with the syrup.
Remove the cooked peaches from the pan and set aside in a large bowl.
Cook the syrup until it has reduced by half (this will take about 10 minutes).
Pour over the peaches and set aside to cool.
The peaches are covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Serve the peaches and syrup at room temperature, warm or chilled.
Add a spoonful of clotted cream if desired.
