Spiced peaches

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (400 g) of peaches, halved, in syrup
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
• 2 short cinnamon sticks
• A 4cm piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced.
• 1/2 tsp crushed dried chili flakes
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt or 1/4 teaspoon table salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
• 3 whole cloves

Preparation:

1. Place the peaches and syrup from the jar into a saucepan. Add vinegar, cinnamon, chopped ginger, chili pepper, salt, peppercorns, and cloves. Bring the contents to a boil for about a minute, then turn off the heat and leave everything in the saucepan to keep warm.
2. Serve the peaches on slices of dry-cured ham, topping each with a peach half and a small amount of the spiced juice. Any leftovers can (and should) be stored in a jar in the refrigerator and eaten cold with cold ham.
