Lavender Nectarine and Raspberry Compote |
|
Ingredientsserves 4
Serves 4
115g granulated sugar
300ml water
3 sprigs lavender flowers
3 strips finely pared lemon zest - using a potato peeler
5 black peppercorns
8 large ripe nectarines (white or yellow)
1 punnet raspberries
Method
Place the sugar, water, lavender flowers, finely pared lemon peel and black peppercorns in a non-corrosive saucepan. Bring up to the boil, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer gently for about 5-10 minutes or until the mixture becomes syrupy and tastes good.
Meanwhile, quarter and stone the nectarines. Then thickly slice each quarter and drop into the lavender syrup. Simmer gently for a further 5 minutes or until the fruit is only just cooked. Tip everything into a bowl and leave to cool.
When you are ready to serve, fish out the peppercorns and lemon peel - although you can leave them in if your guests are fairly relaxed about accidentally biting on to them. Tip in the raspberries and serve with creme fraiche or clotted cream.
