  • 8 peaches, (1-1/2 lb/750 g)
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup quick cooking rolled oats, (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup butter, cubed

Preparation

Halve and pit plums and peaches; slice each half into 4 wedges and place in large bowl. Add brown sugar, cornstarch, raspberry juice concentrate, cinnamon sticks, star anise, ground cinnamon and nutmeg. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into bowl; toss to combine. Reserve bean pod for another use. Scrape into 13- x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish; set aside.
