I can't find the recipe, but you can watch the episode again on bbc iplayer

Nigella Lawson also has a recipe for Spiced Peaches.

The book people are doing an offer on those cook books, is it a good series?

I've never watched it.

I love the series , I wouldn't buy the books because I don't, as a general rule, buy faddy cookbooks and I'm rubbish at buying recipes.

He has some really cute ideas where he did a picnic basket made from a hollowed out loaf of bread and fresh lemonade. He did a good sauce, chimichuri for the bbq too.

Dear Blondy24
I have just rewatched What to eat now and scribbled down the recipie for Pickles Peaches
1/2 stone and skin the ripe peaches
simmer in sugar, red wine vinegar , chopped shallot and pickling spices for 2/3 mins
remove peaches and bottle
Reduce liquid to a syrup and fill bottles with syrup.
i am going to try as Teaso have 12 peaches for £2 today

Thanks so much Frogs Hollow

How many peaches?? What type of pickling spices? Sorry for the stupid questions.

I will definitely have a look on the market tomorrow to see if they have any peaches on offer.

I'm not sure about the recipe but generally for pickling spices you can buy them already blended - it's generally a mix of mustard seeds, dried chillies, peppercorms and other bits and pieces. They're not dear and you can normally find them in the spice aisle of the supermarket.
