Food Stylist: Clare Lewis. Styling: Sue Radcliffe Ingredients (serves 4) about 3 ripe nectarines or peaches (see method) plus an extra one for serving 300ml single cream 75g icing sugar sifted 2 tbsp lemon juice passionfruit seeds to finish Half a day in advance, cut the unpeeled nectarines or peaches into 1cm dice, discarding the stones (you need about 300g stoned weight of fruit).

Chill 4 x 200ml glasses or bowls. Just before serving, peel the fruit off the paper and place it in a food processor (or a blender with an ice-crushing function).
