    I got this recipe from the Menopause Diet book(Couldn't believe there was such a book!)

    Roasted Peaches with Cardamom

    6 ripe firm peaches
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter
    1 cinnamon stick, broken into 3 pieces
    pinch of ground cloves
    1 tablespoon ground cardamom
    1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
    3 tablespoons almond slices
    1 small bunch mint leaves

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

    Dip the peaches into a pot of boiling water for 30 seconds, then place in ice water. Remove from the water and peel skin. Quarter the peaches, removing pits. Gently rub with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
    Melt butter in large saucep[an and add the cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and lemon zest. Cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the peaches to the spicy butter, toss gently and transfer toa roasting pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
    Arrange on a platter. Sprinkle almonds and mint on top of fruit.

    It doesn't list the sugars and the carbs come from the peaches.
