4 fresh ripe peaches, halved and stoned

4 large strawberries, sliced

4 tsp cherry brandy or sherry

2 egg whites

30g caster sugar

Preheat oven to 190ºC/375ºF/Gas 5

Cut a tiny slice from the base of each peach half, so that they stand firmly and do not move when arranged on a baking sheet.  Pile the strawberry slices into the middle of the peach halves. Put 1 tsp cherry brandy into the middle of each one.

In a clean, greasefree bowl,  whisk the egg whites until they hold their shape, then whisk in the sugar until stiff and glossy.  Pile equal amouts onto the top of the peach halves.

Bake 5-6 mins until golden brown.  Serve at once
