Peaches and raspberries get along swimmingly. Peach Melba is a classic dessert that has peaches topped with raspberry puree and served over ice cream. Grill the peaches first for a unique touch. Layer peaches, raspberries, and whipped cream in a parfait glass and top with slivered almonds for another option. Serve over porridge, pancakes or waffles, or ice cream after cooking peaches in white wine and adding raspberries at the end.
Dishes that You Can Prepare Using Raspberry and Peaches
Melba Peach
Ingredients
Peaches:
- 3 quarts liquid
- 3 1/2 pound of sugar
- 1 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
- Lemon juice (two teaspoons)
- 8 ripe peaches
Sauce with raspberries:
- 3 quarts raspberry jam
- A quarter cup of confectioners’ sugar
- A quarter-cup of lemon juice
To be served:
- 1 ice cream tub (vanilla)
Directions
In a large saucepan, combine the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod and boil slowly to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to a boil, then reduce the heat to a rapid simmer for about 5 minutes.
Cut the peaches in half and remove the stones if they come out easily; if not, you may get them out later. Depending on the freshness of the fruit, poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Check for softness on the sliced side with the sharp tip of a knife, then transfer to a platter with a slotted spoon.
When all of the peaches have been poached, remove their skins and set them aside to cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you’re making them ahead of time, let the poaching syrup cool before pouring it over the peaches. Otherwise, save the syrup in a freezer bag and use it the next time you poach peaches.
In a blender or food processor, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners’ sugar, and lemon juice to produce the raspberry sauce. Remove the pits with a sieve and strain the puree into a jug.
Allow 2 peach halves per person while assembling the Peach Melba, and place them on each dish with a scoop or two of ice cream. Place a dollop of raspberry sauce on top of each.
