Ingredients

4 peaches
40 g light brown sugar
25 g butter - unsalted or adjust the amount of sea salt
40 g double cream
half tsp vanilla extract/paste
1 pinch sea salt

Optional

1 tbsp honey - to use instead of sugar to roast the peaches

Instructions

Cut the peaches in half, twist to separate, and discard the stones, using a knife if necessary to cut them out. There is no need to peel them.
4 peaches
Place the peach halves in a buttered dish, with half a teaspoon of sugar or a drizzle of honey in the centre of each. Bake the peaches at Gas Mark 4/180 °C/350 °F for 12–20 minutes.
40 g light brown sugar, 1 tbsp honey
Throw all the remaining ingredients into the pan, and heat slowly, stirring all the time. Simmer for five minutes until you have a thick and glossy sauce.
25 g butter, 40 g double cream, 40 g light brown sugar, half tsp vanilla extract/paste, 1 pinch sea salt
Serve immediately, drizzling the peaches with the hot sauce while they are still warm.

Notes

Storage

Fridge – The sauce can be made in advance and kept covered in the fridge. Any leftovers of sauce and fruit can be kept in the fridge for up to three days. I don't recommend freezing.

Hints and tips

If you want to remove the skins from the peaches, blanch them and peel before you roast them.

The sauce should be started slowly, so use a diffuser if you have trouble keeping the temperature low on your cooker.

You can make the sauce a day or two in advance and microwave it to reheat at the last minute if you prefer, making the recipe more hands-off for when you are entertaining.
