Ingredients

12 large, ripe peaches, halved, stoned
and cut into wedges
2-3 tbsp runny honey
1 vanilla pod, halved, seeds removed
50ml peach schnapps or water

Method

Place all the ingredients (including the vanilla pod) in a large pan and gently heat until the honey and alcohol or water dissolve together to form a light syrup. Simmer gently for 15 minutes, until the peaches are tender and just starting to break down.
Serve while warm, or spoon into sterilised jars, or allow to cool, then freeze in plastic containers.
