Ingredients

1 1/4 cup (330g) caster sugar

1 cup (250ml) water

4 firm yellow peaches, quartered

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

2 tablespoon lemon juice

20 gram butter, chopped

2/3 cup (30g) flaked coconut

4 large scoops coconut ice cream, for serving

Method

1.Place sugar and water in a medium saucepan; stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Boil, uncovered, without stirring, for about 5 minutes or until the syrup turns a light caramel colour or reaches 114°C on a candy thermometer.

2.Add peaches, ginger and lemon rind; cook until the peaches begin to soften. Remove from the heat; remove peaches from the pan with a slotted spoon and reserve. Whisk lemon juice and half the butter into syrup in the pan.

3.Meanwhile, place coconut in a dry frying pan; shake over medium heat until it begins to tum golden brown. Turn off heat and stir through the remaining butter. Cool.

4.Serve peaches with coconut ice cream. Drizzle with a little syrup and top with toasted coconut.
