For the roast peach conserve (makes about 500ml)

You’ll also need…
- Large roasting tray
- Sundae glass or wine glass
Method
- Heat the oven to 180ºC fan/gas 6. For the peach conserve, toss the chopped peaches on a roasting tray with the rest of the conserve ingredients, then roast for 25-30 minutes until very soft and a little caramelised. Lightly crush the fruit using a fork. Transfer the fruit and juices to a clean bowl or jar, then leave to cool. Cover and chill until ready to use (see tips).
- To make the knickerbocker glory, put 2 tbsp of the chilled peach conserve in the glass. Top with a good scoop of vanilla ice cream, a few blackberries and a third of the crumbled meringue. Repeat with the conserve, blackberries, ice cream and half the remaining meringue.
- Decorate with an ice cream wafer, whipped cream and the rest of the meringue – go as big as you like for a nostalgic treat.

Don’t waste it: The conserve makes more than you’ll need. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months. Add to cakes, bakes or cocktails.
Use it up: Use nectarines, plums or whatever fruit you have to hand. Out of season you can use tinned fruit or, if you’re in a hurry, use 4 tbsp good shop-bought conserve.
