Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 7 min.

Salad of vine peaches and apricots with verbena

Pour 400 g Sugar syrup into a small saucepan over medium heat, add the coarsely chopped 6 sprigs Verbena leaves and bring to the boil.

Turn off the heat, cover and leave to cool.

Stage 2 - 6 min.

Cut 8 peaches (I'm using vine nectarines here) into quarters.

Stage 3 - 6 min.

A little extra, if you wish, is to smooth (cut) the pit of each peach quarter, like the one on the left in the photo, so as to have a very pleasant piece of fruit without roughness.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Cut each quarter into 3 or 4 pieces and pour into a salad bowl.

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Prepare 20 apricots, then also cut each apricot half into 4.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Pour into the bowl.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Pour the cooled vervain syrup through a small sieve to remove the vervain leaves, and stir well.

Serve chilled, but not (too) cold.

Remarks

The original recipe is made with vine nectarines, but vine peaches, or even classic peaches, will work just as well.

The verbena syrup can be made the day before, and stored in the fridge.

Keeping

To be enjoyed during the day.

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
