• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon powdered gelatin
• 1 cup water
• 8-10 basil leaves, finely chopped

Instructions:

1. Cut the peaches in half and remove the pits, making a small indent in each half to make a hollow in the center.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the sliced strawberries, lemon juice, and honey. Stuff each peach half with the strawberry mixture.
3. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over the water in a small pot and let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
4. Heat the pot over low heat and whisk constantly until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
5. Add the chopped basil to the pot and remove it from the heat.
6. Use a spoon to carefully pour the mixture over the stuffed peaches until each half is fully covered in the jelly mixture.
7. Place the peaches in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours until the jelly has set.
8. Remove from the fridge and serve chilled.
