Fresh Peaches: 6 nos
Sugar: Half tea-cup
Water: 2 tea-cups
Cloves: 6 buds
Cinnamon: 2 medium sticks
Whipped Creme: Optional
Use peaches that are neither too hard (or you may not be able to judge the cooking time) nor too soft (or they get pulpy while peeling & de-seeding them)
Rule No 1: Thoroughly wash peaches before consuming them. I've overheard that vendors use shoe brushes to polish them off.
Peel the peaches, de-seed them and cut them into fours.
Take 2 tea-cups of water in a pan and gently place the peaches in it. Add sugar, cloves and cinnamon and boil this for about 20-25 mins on slow flame. Once done, keep it to cool and then refrigerate it for atleast an hour before serving. Top it with a dollop of whipped creme if you like..
Believe me.. you just can't go wrong on this one!!!
And like I always say.. Tastes best when shared with someone you love!
