Cook six or eight peaches, cut in halves and pared, in a cup, each, of sugar and water boiled to a syrup; drain and arrange, on small round croutons, about a pyramidal-shaped crouton. Put a blanched peach kernel or almond into the centre of each half peach. Boil the syrup with the juice of half a lemon until thick. Serve hot. For the croutons, either fry plain rounds of bread in butter or dip the bread in a mixture of milk and egg before frying.

Prepare a rice croquette mixture. Make a border of rice on a serving-dish that will stand the heat of the oven. Surround this with halves of peaches, fresh or canned, with skins removed; inside the border dispose sliced peaches and rice in layers, sprinkling the peaches with sugar and giving the whole a dome shape. Cover with meringue, dust with sugar, and set in a slow oven about ten minutes.
