Peach & Apple Nectar

Summer is coming, and this one is a classic!

These are what I call nectars, or fruit pulp drinks. So refreshing & great for the kids!

Any stone fruit can be used for this recipe. Pineapple also works great. Stir in some yoghurt at the end to make a lassi, or a touch of vodka or Malibu for a delicious cocktail…

Makes 1 Litre

4 Peaches

4 Apples

2 Star Anise

1 Cinnamon Stick

2 Cardamon Pods

2 Tbsp Brown Sugar

500ml Apple Juice

2 Tbsp Fresh Lime Juice

Peel & core the apples & cut into chunks with the peaches.

Combine the star anise, cinnamon stick, cardamom, brown sugar & apple juice. Pour over apple & peach & leave to macerate for 24 hours.

Place in a shallow baking tray & bake at 180, basting regularly. Remove & puree everything. Pass through a sieve.

Finish with the lime juice to taste.

Serve in a frozen shot glass or water glass.

Enjoy!
