Dish Details:kidclock


INGREDIENTS:

250g fresh raspberries
1 tbsp icing sugar
juice of 1 lemon
4 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
4 scoops vanilla ice-cream
1 handful hazelnuts or flaked almonds to serve (optional)

To remove the skin from a peach, either immerse in boiling water for about 30 seconds or, preferably, peel with a very sharp knife (which preserves the flavour).


PREPARATION:
1. Combine the raspberries, sugar and lemon juice in a bowl then force the mixture through a sieve using the back of a spoon or a rubber spatula.

2. Arrange the peaches in serving glasses or bowls. Top with a scoop of ice-cream and pour over the raspberry sauce. Scatter over the hazelnuts or flaked almonds, if desired.
