Chill the Peaches:
- Once cooled, carefully remove the skins from the peaches.

- Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry sauce by pressing the raspberries through a fine sieve.
- Collect the juice in a bowl, discarding any seeds or pulp.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to the raspberry juice and stir until dissolved. This will sweeten the sauce.

Serve:
- To serve, ladle the raspberry sauce into two shallow soup plates, creating a generous pool in each plate.
- Place two chilled peach halves in each plate, gently resting them in the center of the sauce.
