Step by step recipe:
Roughly cut 1 handful fresh mint leaves with scissors into a cup. |  |
Pour on 4 tablespoons of sugar syrup and leave to stand (while preparing peaches) until the syrup takes on the flavour of the mint. |  |
Peel and to poach 8 peaches. |  |
Over a bowl, take a peach in your hand and cut off small pieces with a knife, without going right to the stone. We don't use immedieately around the stone as this flesh is less sweet. |  |
Do this with all the peaches. Add juice of 1 lemon and mix well. If peach salad is to be kept longer than one hour, add 1 pinch vitamin C to prevent browning. |  |
Pour mint syrup over peaches through a fine strainer to remove mint leaves which you can discaed. |  |
Add more sugar syrup until peaches pieces are well covered. Cover with plastic film, and keep in the fride until serving. |  |
You can serve in individual bowls, with a few mint leaves for decoration. |  |
Remarks:
The secret of this recipe is in the quality and flavouro f the peaches, take best flavoured you can find, different kinds if possible: yellow, white, vine, etc.If you lke a stronger mint flavour, you can make an infusion. For this: put chopped mint leaves in a pan, with sugar syrup, over low heat and bring to the boil. When boiling, remove from heat, cover and leave to cool. Add to peaches through a strainer as in the classic recipe.

It sound great, but what are those reds fruits in?

For Sarah : this is a red kind of peaches call "vineyard peaches", they are pretty but not very tasty. If you can find small, very tasty and flavoured vineyard peaches from your grand-mother garden (or something), this will certainly be great.
