Sweet shiraz syrup

125ml shiraz red wine

STEP 1:   Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Line the base of a baking pan with baking paper. Pour 1 cup water into pan. Arrange peaches cut-side up in pan and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes until tender.  Remove from oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.
