Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 1 min.

Roughly cut 1 handful fresh mint leaves with scissors into a cup.

Stage 2 - 1 min.

Pour on 4 tablespoons of sugar syrup and leave to stand (while preparing peaches) until the syrup takes on the flavour of the mint.

Stage 3 - 5 min.

Peel and to poach 8 peaches.

Stage 4

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.

Stage 5 - 10 min.

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.

Stage 6 - 2 min.

Pour mint syrup over peaches through a fine strainer to remove mint leaves which you can discaed.

Stage 7 - 1 min.

Add more sugar syrup until peaches pieces are well covered.

Cover with plastic film, and keep in the fride until serving.

Stage 8

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.

How to glaze a tart

Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it.

Sushi

Sushi is probably the best known element of Japanese cooking outside Japan. For the Japanese it's a culinary art learned over time from masters, but we can make simplified and easier sushi which are still pretty and delicious. The most common types of sushi are nigiri: a little oval-shaped mouthfuls of rice topped with raw fish, and maki: a nori seaweed roll filled with rice and other delicious ingredients.

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.
