This is one of the lovely treasures we tracked down in Hampshire over the Summer...We've been saving the photo of it until the Autumn arrived, so here we are!

A pretty china fruit bowl or serving dish decorated with yellowy orange and red apples :O)

Perfect as a fruit bowl, or how about popping in a boozy fruit salad?

Here's a Retro recipe from our 1970s cookbook for Peaches in Wine:

8 large ripe peaches

caster sugar

lemon juice

red, rose, chilled sweet white wine or champagne

Peel the peaches carefully , slice and place in the serving bowl.

Sprinkle the peaches with sugar and a little lemon juice.

Just before serving pour enough wine into the bowl to just cover the fruit.

Serve immediately :O)
