1 teaspoon ground cumin
pinch cayenne, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Drain the syrup from the peaches into a large saucepan. Cut each peach slice into 3 or 4 pieces. Mix the peaches, raisins and lemon juice together in a bowl and set aside. Add the remaining ingredients to the syrup, bring to a boil and boil gently for 12-15 minutes, or until thick. Add the fruit and simmer 1-3 minutes.
