Peachy Tray bake

2 cups s/raising flour
100g butter, cubed
1/3 c castor sugar
finely grated zest and juice of one orange *
150ml milk
900g peaches (or nectarines) stoned and cut in thick wedges
extra 25g cubed
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c raw sugar
icing sugar


this is a tray bake - and would be good as a sweet treat to pack up for picnic or to the beach.

Preheat to 200C - line a 23x33 slice tin with baking paper.  Place flour and butter in bowl and rub butter in until crumbly (or use food processor)
Stir in sugar and zest and make a well in centre - pour milk in and mix just enough to form soft dough. don't over mix.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to same size as tin and press to fit snugly.  toss peach wedges in juice and scatter over dough.  dot fruit with butter and sprinkle over the cinnamon and raw sugar.
Bake 35-40 mins or until base is golden brown and fruit caramelised and juice. dust with icing sugar and cut into squares - serve with mascarpone or cream if you like.

Serves 12. keeps for 1-2 days.

loved this as a dessert and as a slice to have with a cup of tea.  Will make again and post a picture. The one I made had apricots, plums and nectarines and *instead of OJ I used the lemon lime bitters syrup and that made the base tasty tasty and delicious.
