This has been a fabulous year for fruit due to the very good spring weatherwise with no late frosts to damage the blossom. I have been struggling to deal with all the gluts of cherries, plums, blackberries and early yellow peaches. Now the white peaches are ready. All the branches are weighed down with fruit. If Mr O had'nt propped most of them up, most branches would have broken by now! Last year There were 6 peaches on the tree! I have made a start with a simple recipe for a summer dessert.
PEACHES IN FRUIT SYRUP
Put 15o ml /1/4 pint of water into a saucepan with the thinly peeled rind of 1 orange and 1 lemon. (Use a potato peeler for this) Add 115g caster sugar. Heat slowly until the sugar has dissolved, then boil quickly for 5 minutes. Strain. Skin and slice 3 or 4 peaches. Put them in a bowl. Pour over the syrup and the juice of 1 lemon. Cool and chill before serving.
