Recipe: Peach melba

THIS much abused recipe is one of the most delicious desserts of summer when made with best quality home-made ice cream, sugared peaches or nectarines and a fresh raspberry sauce.

Quite unlike the travesty which often is served as Peach Melba, consisting of mass-produced ice cream and canned peaches smothered in a sauce made from thinned out jam, and perhaps a bit of chocolate flake on top for extra excitement!

Serve each guest some vanilla ice-cream and sugared peaches with a little fresh raspberry sauce poured over the top.
