PEACHES IN WHISKY

For those not lucky enough to live where peaches grow on trees and can be picked fresh; condolences. However, by the time you've made this dish, the difference in taste will be undetectable. To your astonishment, no doubt, this is yet another single malt Highland whisky recipe - but it should make your old grandmother ask for seconds!

� 8 fresh peaches
� 1 cup (8 oz) sugar
� 2 cups water
� 3 tbsps single malt Highland whisky
� cream

1. Soak peaches for 5 minutes in water, skin.
2. Dissolve sugar in 2 cups water, boil.
3. Add peaches, heat gently for 15 minutes.
4. Remove peaches, add whisky to syrup, boil for 5 minutes.
5. Cool, pour over peaches, chill.
6. Serve with whipped cream.

Makes 1 dessert per person.

O'siyo Shadow,

well guess I'll just have to keep granny outta the kitchen! I have had peaches in whiskey and it is truly delictable

I have also served the peaches on shortbread or garnished the dish with several gingerbread cookies

Also instead of the whipped cream ever try a dollop of sorbet or yogurt? It is most tasty
