Amaretti-filled Peaches 

Try this sweet treat

Ingredients:

10 large peaches

1 cup raw macadamias, chopped

2 Tbsp honey

2 Tbsp brown sugar

1 cup Amaretti biscuits, crushed

8 1/2 fl. oz orange juice

Directions:

Preheat oven to 170C.

Cut a hole in the top of the peaches and carefully remove stone and enough flesh to make a core to fill, but leaving a base. (Alternatively slice in half, remove stone and scoop out some of the flesh.)

Combine macadamias, honey, sugar and biscuits in a processor. Fill peaches, topping with a few larger macadamia pieces. Arrange in a baking dish and pour in the orange juice or marsala.

Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until tender and nuts are browned. Serve with low-fat ice cream, if desired.

Variations:

Apples, pears, apricots or nectarines may be used in place of peaches.

Gingernut biscuits may be used in place of the Amaretti biscuits.

Try 250ml marsala in place of the orange juice.
