Poached peaches with yoghurt

1.In a large deep saucepan, stir sugar, juice and zest over moderate heat until the sugar is dissolved. Add spices, bring to boil.
2.Cut a small cross in the base of each peach. Add peaches to syrup. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, turning occasionally, 8-10 minutes or until tender. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peaches to a large heatproof bowl. Peel peaches when cool enough to handle.
3.Increase heat; bring syrup to the boil. Boil, uncovered, 5-7 minutes or until thickened slightly. Let cool.
4.Pour syrup over peaches. Cover with plastic food wrap; chill 1 hour. Serve peaches warm, topped with yoghurt and berries.

You can use other stone fruit or a combination such as plums, apricots or nectarines. Poached peaches can be made up to 6 hours before serving.
