Method

  1. Pour the Marsala into a wide shallow pan (large enough to take all the peaches in a single layer) and bring to the boil. Lower the heat, add the vanilla pod and simmer gently for 15 minutes until reduced by nearly two thirds to about 200ml/7 fl oz.
  2. Carefully tuck in the peaches and cook gently uncovered for about 5 minutes, until starting to soften, turning frequently. Leave to cool in the pan, then tip into a big serving bowl and chill for at least an hour, turning occasionally, until you are ready to serve. (You can prepare to this stage up to 8 hours ahead.)
  3. To serve, spoon the peaches and juices into bowls and serve with a dollop of clotted cream and the biscuits.

    This is super-delicious. I made the whole menu that this dish appears in which I hardly ever do. The ingredients for this are a bit extravagant but the end result is luscious. Easy too!
