Peach and cherry salad with pistachio milkshake

Method

1. For the peach and cherry salad: halve the peaches and prise out the stones, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Cut the cherries in half and remove the stones.

2. Put the fruit into a bowl, add the vanilla sugar syrup and chopped pistachios, and toss to mix. Cover and leave to macerate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.

3. For the pistachio milk shake: put the pistachios, sugar syrup and water into a blender and whiz for a few minutes until you have a thick, smooth mixture. Push it through a fine sieve into a large bowl.

4. Stir in the crème anglaise and milk, adding a splash more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency. Cover with cling film and chill.

5. When ready to serve, divide the peaches and cherries between serving bowls. Scatter with pistachio nuts.

6. Using a hand-held blender, froth up the pistachio milk shake, then pour into small, individual glasses. Pop a straw into each glass and serve at once with the fruit salad.
