Ingredients

  • 2 cups verjuice
  • 1 T pink peppercorns
  • 6 juniper berries
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 6 ripe nectarines
  • 6 ripe plums

Method

Place a small saucepan over a medium heat and add the verjuice, peppercorns, juniper berries and brown sugar. Stir until dissolved.

Serve with thin slivers of mature cheese.
