Method

1.In a heavy-based saucepan, combine wine, sugar, water, juice and zest. Stir over medium heat 3-4 minutes, until sugar dissolves.
2.Add peaches, ensuring they are covered with liquid. Cover with a round of baking paper (cartouche). Weigh down peaches with a plate. Simmer 5-10 minutes, until just tender (see tip).
3.Remove from heat and allow to cool in poaching liquid 20 minutes. Remove peaches from liquid and set aside.
4.Return saucepan to heat. Bring to boil on high. Continue cooking 15-20 minutes, until syrupy and reduced by half.
5.Peel skin from cooled peaches and discard. Drizzle syrup over and serve with raspberries.

Poaching time will change according to the ripeness and size of the fruit you use.
