Step 1
Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Sprinkle the sugar into the bottom of a baking tray, dot over the butter and add the spices. Put the peaches flat-side down on the mix and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until soft but still holding their shape.

Step 2
Meanwhile, mix the vanilla with the mascarpone. Remove the peaches from the oven and while still warm, peel and discard the skin. Keep warm while you make the sauce.

Step 3
Scrape the sugar from the tray into a small pan, and reduce the cooking liquor until you get a drizzling consistency.

Step 4
Put 3 halves of peach per person on a plate, add a blob of the mascarpone, drizzle over the sauce and sprinkle over the amaretti biscuits.
