| Introduction |
| This dish makes a nice light dessert or a great side dish with pork,chicken or lamb. An elegant way to serve these peaches as a dessert: Place a spoonful of raspberry coulis and a spoonful of lightly sweetened creme fraiche side by side on each dessert plate. Draw a wooden skewer through the two sauces in a swirl motion to make an attractive design.
Place a peach half in the middle of each plate and sprinkle toasted almond slices over sauces around peach half.Serve with a nice dessert wine such as a Raspberry Framboise. |
