Wonderful! Great over cake, or alone. I also modified the recipe to use bing cherries and cherry wine and it was great, too! -
I cannot review these just yet,as they are not ready to eat! However, the ease of making them was excellent, and the smell and spices was wonderful. I have photographed them, and will return with my review in a week or so, when we plan to have them for a dessert! I halved the recipe to 12 peaches, and managed to make 2 large Kilner out of the peaches. Thanks Baby Kato - I am sure these will be as wonderful to eat, as the smell was, whilst I was making them! FT:-)Added on the 8th September - FIVE stars and WOW! We had these warm with creme fraiche tonight.......delicious!!! I am going to make some more whilst peaches are cheap amd available - THANKS so much for a keeper!:-)
