Jan Braai’s Peaches In Port
Bursting with flavours of cinnamon, liquorice, cloves and cardamom, this makes the perfect dessert after a big Sunday lunch. It’s light and aromatic, but also comforting and warming.
Peach and Blackberry Crumble Recipe
Is there anything better in autumn than a freshly baked crumble? This recipe uses seasonal peaches with blackberries, but you can use frozen ones if you can’t find them fresh. It’s ideal with a scoop of ice cream or some cream.
