Time 33m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 medium-sized fresh ripe peaches
3 to 4 macaroons, crushed
1 level tablespoon sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons Cointreau
1/2 pint (1 cup) double cream
5 ounces Demerara (raw) sugar

Steps:

  • Pour boiling water over the peaches and leave them for 1 to 2 minutes, then pour off the water and cover them with cold water. The skins should then be easily removed. Halve the peaches, discarding stones, and place in a single layer in an ovenproof dish, cut sides up.
  • Mix the macaroons with the sugar and enough of the Cointreau to make a paste. Fill the peach cavities with the paste. If necessary the peach cavities can be made a little larger by removing some of the flesh, which should be finely chopped and added to the paste.
  • Whip in the cream and spread over the peaches. Put the peaches to chill in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to serve, sprinkle Demerara sugar over the cream and place under a preheated broiler until the sugar melts.
