vanilla peach tart
500ml Marsala
1 vanilla pod, split
6 ripe peaches, halved and stoned
carton clotted cream
soft almond biscuits

heat oven to 180C

pour the Marsala into a wide shallow pan large enough to take all the peaches snugly in a single layer and bring to the boil. lower the heat, add the vanilla pod and simmer gently until reduced by half

pack the peaches closely into the Marsala, cut side down. place in the oven for about 35 minutes, until starting to soften, basting a few times.

leave to cool in the pan, then remove to a serving bowl and chill for at least an hour. (You can prepare to this stage up to 8 hours ahead.)

To serve, spoon the peaches and juices into bowls and serve with a dollop of clotted cream and the biscuits.
