Note

The peach puree can be made several hours in advance; stir well before spooning onto plates.

Raspberry vinegar helps maintain the vibrant color of the peaches, adds a subtle tang, and heightens the flavor of the raspberries.

Pears may be substituted for peaches. If using pears, simply peel them without the boiling water blanching step.

For a vegan version, omit the crème fraîche or substitute with a plant-based alternative like coconut cream.
