Peaches for Dessert

Wipe the peaches carefully and lightly over with a clean cloth; put a circle of them on a dish, then over these a narrower circle, and so on, finishing off with one at the top and using peach leaves and moss to garnish and build them with. Put a circle of the moss and leaves round the base of the peaches. Vine or artificial peach leaves may be used if the genuine ones cannot be obtained.
