1
A clever cook we know invented this all-purpose pudding on holiday in Spain, profiting by a glut of tiny peaches at give-away prices and cheap local wine. It is highly adaptable; we have cooked hard little apricots or nectarines the same way, or used up oddments of brandy, whisky, apple, or grape juice instead. Chilled and piled up in a dish with the syrupy remains of the juice poured over, and with Greek yoghurt or cream served separately, it can be a grand party pudding. Any leftovers never survive breakfast time.
2
Wash the peaches, stick a clove in each one, and put in a pan with the wine. Add the peel of a well-scrubbed lemon, honey, and nutmeg or cinnamon to taste. Bring to the boil, lower the heat, and simmer, covered, until the peaches are tender and almost at bursting point.
