Poached Peaches With Ice Cream

Diana Rattray
Serve these delicious poached peaches with vanilla ice cream and the simple raspberry sauce or use your favorite dessert sauce.

Ingredients:

  • 4 white peaches, peeled, quartered
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise
  • Several strands of orange zest
  • 1 cinnamon stick, broken into 2 pieces
  • 1/2 cup peach or apricot Schnapps or nectar
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup seedless raspberry preserves, warmed

Preparation:

Scoop pits out of peaches and cut out any hard fibers. Toss in a bowl with the lemon juice; set aside.

Combine sugar, water, vanilla bean, orange zest, cinnamon stick pieces, and Schnapps in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and boil for 5 minutes. Add peaches; cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove cover and simmer for 2 minutes longer.

Arrange a few peach quarters in a bowl with a small amount of the juice. Top with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream and then drizzle with the warm raspberry preserves.
Serves 4 to 6.
