Peach Melba was created in the late 1800s by the famous French chef Auguste Escoffier in honor of the Australian opera singer Nellie Melba. It is a classic dessert consisting of peach puree, raspberry sauce, and vanilla ice cream. This modernized recipe is a twist on the original, using raspberry ice cream instead of vanilla ice cream and fresh raspberries for added texture and flavor. This dessert is perfect for entertaining guests on a warm summer evening.

1.	In a blender, puree together the canned peaches, lemon juice, and reserved syrup until smooth.
2.	Divide the raspberry ice cream or sherbet among 4 bowls.
3.	Pour the peach puree over the top of the ice cream.
4.	Garnish with fresh raspberries and serve immediately.
