Fruit Curry

I absolutely LOVED this recipe. The peaches made it just MMMMM. Usually i go for something a bit spicier like a korma or a coconut ice cream but this is the perfect level for me. I found that adding some sugar to it made it even tastier. I'll certainly be cooking this for my boyfriend. Dance
