Method
Wash, halve and stone the nectarines. Place the brandy in a saucepan over medium heat and when the brandy is heated, add the nectarines, cut side facing down. Set the brandy alight and when the flames die down, turn the peaches over then add the juice and sprinkle to taste with castor sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover with a lid. Simmer for 3 – 5 minutes until the peaches are starting to soften.
Place the peaches then on to a heated grilled pan, cut side facing down. When the peaches are grilled to your liking, put them into individual serving plates. Combine the cream with the grated ginger root and castor sugar to taste. Spoon a small dollop on each peach half and drizzle with pan juice, if any, and serve.
