Looking for something a little different to liven up your table? This spiced peaches recipe from Nigella Lawson is a brilliant balance of sweet, sharp and spice. It transforms simple canned fruit into a flavour-packed dish that feels surprisingly sophisticated.
Best of all? This is one of those spiced peach dishes that couldn’t be easier to make. All you need to do is infuse the fruit with all those amazing flavours and you end up with tender, juicy peaches in a syrup that’s equal parts sweet, spicy and slightly tangy, with a subtle kick of heat.
When it comes to serving, Nigella’s spiced peaches recipe is incredibly versatile. They’re fantastic alongside meats such as classic roast pork, honey roast Christmas ham, superstar chef Tom Kerridge’s perfect roast turkey or roasted five-spice Aylesbury duck. Yet they’re just as good with grilled chicken or even a cheese board - particularly with sharp cheddar or creamy blue cheese. For something different, try spooning them over vanilla ice cream or yoghurt for a wonderfully indulgent pud.
