Peach fizz
Use a sharp knife to make a small cross
in the bottom of a peach. Put in a bowl of
boiling water, leave for 30 secs, then peel
away the skin and remove the stone.
Whizz in a blender with 4 tsp orange
liqueur (try Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)
and pass through a fine sieve; use a juicer
if you have one. Pour into 2 glasses and
top up each with chilled sparkling wine.
Method
-
Place 2 tbsp caster sugar in a small
pan with 1 tbsp water. Heat for 2 mins,
without stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
Tip in 85g pecans and cook until the sugar
turns golden brown and coats the nuts.
Sprinkle over a pinch cayenne pepper,
season with a little salt, then turn out
onto baking paper, separating out nuts as
much as you can. Leave to cool. Will keep
in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
