White-wine-poached peaches with wholemeal shortbread
There is such a quiet beauty in poached fruit, soft enough to give way to your spoon but firm enough to hold their shape. Peaches are one of my favourites to poach - the colour is pleasing and, served cold, they make a most refreshing summery dessert. They are perfect to make ahead; as the peaches sit in the syrup, they’ll soak up even more flavour.
