  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 4 slightly under-ripe peaches
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 strips lemon peel
  • 1 vanilla pod, sliced in half
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream, to serve
Directions
  1. To make the raspberry sauce, add the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of water to a blender.
  2. Blend for 15 to 20 seconds.
  3. Pour the raspberry mixture through a sieve to remove the seeds then set aside.
  4. Halve the peaches and remove the pits.
  5. Add roughly 2 cups of hot water, the granulated sugar, lemon peel, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan over medium heat.
  6. When the mixture is simmering gently and the sugar has dissolved, add as many peaches as you can fit in the pan.
  7. Poach each peach for roughly 3 minutes and then turn them over and poach for another 3 minutes, until softened.
  8. Remove the peaches from heat after poaching.
  9. Peel the skin off the peaches and discard. Leave the peaches to cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Serve the cooled peaches with vanilla ice cream and a generous drizzle of raspberry sauce.
