6 oz. Heavy cream
3 Tbs. Peaches
3Tbs. Sugar
1 Tb. Balsamic vinegar

Method:
Wash all fruit, hull strawberries and cut in half. Pit the peaches and cut into sections. Leave the cherries whole with the stems on. Place ½ tablespoon of ginger in cup with jasmine tea and pour boiling water over both.

Heat oil in skillet, add the fruits and half of the orange zest and heat through. Deglaze the pan with the ginger, jasmine tea and balsamic vinegar. Add sugar to the skillet and stir quickly. Distribute the fruit evenly among four bowls and sprinkle the remaining orange zest over top.
