Peach Jam

1. Combine the sugar, peach skins and water in a small saucepan
2. Heat over medium heat until the sugar is a tinge of pink
3. Remove the skins and add the peaches
4. Cover and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, or until the peaches have softened and the mixture is thick and jam-like
5. If it's too runny take the lid off and allow the excess moisture to evaporate
6. Remove from the heat and cool in the fridge until chilled

Mochi

1. Combine the glutinous rice flour, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, and whisk to combine
2. Add the milk and food coloring, and whisk until smooth
3. Cover the mochi mixture with cling wrap and microwave for 2 minutes on high
4. Uncover and stir
5. Then re-cover and microwave for another 2 minutes, the mochi dough should be semi-translucent
6. If the mochi is still slightly liquidy/milky re-cover it and microwave at 1-minute intervals until cooked through
7. Allow the mochi to cool enough to handle
8. Add the vegetable oil and using gloved or oiled hands knead until smooth
9. Prepare a baking tray lined with baking paper
10. Divide the mochi into 6 equal portions and place on the baking sheet

Assembly

1. Dust your work surface with cornstarch
2. Roll one portion of mochi into a ball and place it on your work surface

4. Get a small bowl or sauce dish and place the skin in the bowl
5. Pipe a swirl of whipped cream on the mochi skin in the bottom of the bowl
6. Top with a small scoop of peach jam
7. Bring the edges of the mochi together to enclose the filling
8. Use a pair of scissors to snip the end off, and dust with more cornstarch to get rid of any stickiness
9. Turn the bowl over to reveal the perfect mochi!
10. Repeat with the remaining mochi and filling
11. Using the back of a knife make an indent at the end of each mochi to create that peach shape and top with a leaf
