Method
Step 1:
Place the peaches in a small bowl and pour over boiling water to cover them. Leave for 5 mins then plunge into cold water. Peel off the skins and then slice and chop them.
Step 2:
Reserve 6 cherries for the decoration. Stone the remaining cherries then place in a small pan with 4 tbsp water and the sweetener. Simmer gently for 5 mins until the fruit is tender. Place the cherries in a food processor and whiz until smooth. Sieve into a bowl.
Step 3:
Place the gelatine in a bowl with 4 tbsp water and leave to soak for 5 mins. Remove the gelatine, shaking off the excess water, Place 150ml of the cherry puree in a pan and warm it slightly, add the gelatine and liqueur and stir until dissolved. Stir in the rest of the cherry juice.
Step 4:
Lightly whip the cream, then fold in the crème fraiche and the cherry mixture until evenly mixed. Taste and add a little more sweetener to sweeten if necessary.
Step 5:
Stir the chopped peaches into the cherry mixture then pour into a lightly greased, 1kg /2lb non stick loaf tin and allow to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours. ( If your tin is not non stick, line it with cling film).
Step 6:
To turn out: dip the loaf tin into hot water for a couple of seconds then invert the tin onto a plate so the mousse falls out.
Step 7:
Decorate the mousse with a couple of cherries and peach slices. This dessert can be made one day in advance, but will not keep for longer as the peaches will oxidise slightly.
