Vermouth Roasted Peaches

The inspiration for this dish was a delicious jam of roast peaches & vermouth that our friend and soon-to-be guest chef Kylee Newton produces for London delis on her Newton & Pott label.  It is superb, and we thought the flavours perfect for a dessert.  At our Thyme’s Table dinner we served this with a semi-freddo flavoured with the rose geranium ‘Attar of Roses,’ a sesame seed praline & sweet tahini; but this is equally delicious with a simple but good vanilla ice-cream or a well set panna cotta.
