Roast peaches with liquorice ice cream and raspberry shooters

Method

1. Put the raspberries in a glass bowl, pour over the vodka and leave to marinate overnight.

2. To make the liquorice ice cream, place the Pontefract cakes in a bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water and stir until melted. Leave to cool, but while still melted, fold them into the vanilla ice cream. Return to the freezer and freeze for around 2 hours, until firm.

3. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Cut each peach in half, remove the stones and cut each half into 3 even-sized wedges. Place in a small roasting tray.

4. Combine the thyme, water, sugar, vanilla and star anise in a small saucepan and simmer until slightly thickened.

5. Pour the syrup over the peaches and roast them for about 8 minutes. Lay the hot peaches between four serving plates and place a shot glass in the middle of each arrangement.

6. Spoon a little of the raspberries and vodka into each shot glass and top up with the soda water. Serve straight away with the liquorice ice cream, decorated with fresh mint leaves.
