LAVENDER PEACHES (a quicky)

Lavender Peaches, a heady summer dessert.                                                                                                                    Mans
If you want to conjure up a fresh summery dessert in an instant, this delightful dish is your answer. I wish I could claim as my own, but sadly cannot; I saw old Nige (Slater) making it on the telly.
I don’t know what it is, but the lavender perfectly perfumes the peaches, while the dessert wine gives it an edge that doesn’t make the dish altogether girly.

'Shamelessly let your feminine side free',  I say.                                                                                                              Mans
WHAT YOU NEED
-        About 1 peach per person
-        A glug of dessert wine (chilled) per person
-        A scattering lavender flowers

Isn't that peachy?                                                                                                                                                                Mans
WHAT TO DO
Give each peach a good wash to get rid of the nasty fur. Cut into delicate wedges and toss into a pudding bowl. Pour in a glug of sweet white or pink wine; I guess sweet bubbles will also do the trick. Gently pluck the little flowers from a lavender bud and scatter ‘artistically’ over the dish. Serve with an air of feminine flamboyance… especially if you are a dude.

Don't hold back on the wine.                                                                                                                                     Mans
