Ingredients

• 150ml rosé wine
• 150g golden caster sugar
• Parings and juice of 1 lemon
• 1 vanilla pod, split
• 4 ripe yellow-fleshed peaches
• Greek yogurt, to serve
• About 15g pistachios, chopped

Method

1. Pour the wine and 300ml water into a small pan, then add the sugar, lemon parings and vanilla pod. Simmer gently until the sugar dissolves.
2. Carefully add the peaches and poach them gently for 7-10 mins, until tender when pierced with a sharp knife.
3. Take the peaches out of the syrup with a slotted spoon and when cool enough to handle, peel away the skin. Put the peaches back in the poaching liquid and leave to cool completely. Chill.
4. Serve the peaches in their syrup as it is, or boil the syrup to thicken and reduce it to about 150ml, adding the lemon juice, to taste. Leave to cool. Put the fruit in a puddle of syrupy sauce with a spoonful of thick Greek yogurt and a sprinkling of chopped pistachios.
