Honey Roasted Peaches with Rose Flavoured Ice Cream
This is a lovely dessert for everyone, young and old. You can use other soft fruit such as nectarines, apricots, figs, plums, depending on the season. With a dash of honey, and delicious Solice Ice Cream flavoured with a dash of rosewater, both taste and aroma are supreme. Finishing the dish with a topping of chopped pistachios gives the dessert a Middle Eastern flavour.

1 pint fresh semi-skimmed milk
6 ripe peaches
30g butter
