Steps:
- Put the water, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla pod into a wide saucepan and heat gently to dissolve the sugar. Bring the pan to the boil and let it bubble away for about 5 minutes, then turn the heat down to a fast simmer.
- Cut the peaches in half, and if the stones come out easily then remove them, if not then you can get them out later. Poach the peach halves in the sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side depending on the ripeness of the fruit. Test the cut side with the sharp point of a knife to see if they are soft, and then remove them to a plate with a slotted spoon.
- When all the peaches are poached, peel off their skins and let them cool (then you can remove any remaining stones). If you are making them a day in advance then let the poaching syrup cool and then pour into a dish with the peaches. Otherwise just bag up the syrup and freeze it for the next time you poach peaches.
- To make the raspberry sauce, liquidize the raspberries, confectioners' sugar, and lemon juice in a blender or a food processor. Sieve to remove the pits and pour the puree into a jug.
- To assemble the Peach Melba, allow 2 peach halves per person and sit them on each plate alongside a scoop or 2 of ice cream. Spoon the raspberry sauce over each.

Steps:
- For the crust: Pulse the flour, sugar and kosher salt in a food processor to combine. Scatter in the butter pieces and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle with the vinegar and 5 tablespoons of the water. Pulse until the dough just begins to come together. (If the dough is still floury and crumbly, add the last tablespoon of water and pulse again.) Dump the dough on the counter and press into a disc with your hands. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- For the filling: Melt the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add the preserves and stir until smooth, then simmer until syrupy, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the sugar, brandy, lemon juice, ginger and nutmeg. Add the peaches and raspberries, then sprinkle with the cornstarch and toss to coat the fruit in the cornstarch.
- Roll the dough on a floured counter to a circle about an inch or so wider than the top of the skillet. Trim the dough to clean up the edges, then lay the dough over the top of the skillet, tucking the edges inside. Cut 3 small slits in the top of the dough to let steam escape. Brush the dough with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
- Place the skillet on the lined baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is crisp and deep golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
- For the sauce: Put the caramel sauce in a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until it starts to simmer, then whisk in the buttermilk and flaky salt. Return to a simmer and simmer until smooth, about 1 minute. Let cool before serving.
- To serve, scoop the pie into serving dishes and drizzle with the sauce. Sprinkle with additional flaky salt, if desired.
NOT-SO-CLASSIC PEACH MELBA
A classic peach Melba is a dessert of poached peach halves and raspberry sauce with vanilla ice cream, invented by the French chef Auguste Escoffier, and named after the Australian soprano Nellie Melba. This not-so-classic version calls for sliced ripe peaches instead of cooked peach halves. Look for the best vanilla ice cream, with real vanilla, or make your own. Easy to assemble, it's a lovely, refreshing and elegant dessert, perfect for when peaches and raspberries are in season.

PEACH MELBA
It's simple to prepare a memorable dessert for just you and someone else. Straight from our Test Kitchen, this yummy classic features fresh peaches and a super delicious raspberry sauce for drizzling. Idea: An easy way to peel peaches is to lower them into boiling water and cook them for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; cool slightly and remove skin with a knife. Poaching peaches in syrup is a great way to soften peaches that are not yet ripe.
