INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup peach nectar

• 2 thin slices fresh ginger
  
• 4 large ripe peaches

METHOD

In a medium saucepan, combine the peach nectar, sugar and fresh ginger. Bring to the boil over moderate heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel, pit and quarter the peaches. Add the peach quarters to the simmering mixture.

Continue simmering for 7-10 minutes more, or until the peaches are very tender. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.

Puree the peaches, ginger slices and their liquid in a food processor or blender.

Pour into a small bowl and stir in the Peach Schnapps. Cover and refrigerate.

Serve over a plain cheesecake or layer with frozen vanilla yoghurt and raspberries in stemmed glasses.
