Mojito peaches : Stage 2
Take off the heat, add 1 handful fresh mint leaves (roughly chopped), mix and cover. Leave to infuse for 15 minutes.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 1 min.
Mojito peaches : Stage 3
After this time, pour the syrup into a bowl through a very fined strainer.

Squeeze the mint leaves to get out all the syrup and flavour.

Stage 4 - ⌛ 2 min.
Mojito peaches : Stage 4
Add 3 tablespoons rum and 3 tablespoons lime juice, mix and cover. Put to wait in the fridge.

Note: This syrup can be prepared the day before.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 10 min.
Mojito peaches : Stage 5

The peaches

Peel 6 peaches (the best way is to use the sae method as for tomatoes).

Drizzle each peach with a little lime (or lemon) juice after peeling to stop it turning brown.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 5 min.
Mojito peaches : Stage 6
Slice the peaches fairly thickly (a mandolin is ideal for this; a good knife also works, though it takes a bit longer).

Stage 7 - ⌛ 1 min.
Mojito peaches : Stage 7
Pour the cold mojito syrup over the peaches and mix well.

The peaches can be kept for a short while like this, but must be covered with plastic film in contact with the surface.

Stage 8
Mojito peaches : Stage 8
Serve cool, but not too cold, in individual dishes, for example, garnished with a sprig of mint.
Remarks
If you are in a hurry, use sugar syrup instead of the mix of different sugars and water in stage 1. This will also be a bit sweeter.

The quantities of rum and lime juice are for guidance, so do feel free to adapt these to suit your taste.

If you don't have white peaches, the yellow sort or nectarines will work fine, but it is important to use really ripe, flavoursome fruit.
Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.

Crème brulée
Crème brûlée (burned cream) is quite easy to prepare: it's a simple egg-cream dessert. The only difficulty is in making the delicious crunchy caramel layer on top. The perfect crème brulée (for me) is a cold and soft cream, with on top a nice hot caramel crust. This is a completely new version of the former recipe, with video.
