Use peach brandy or schnapps or a peach nectar in the poaching liquid, and serve these peaches with delicious liquid.

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup peach brandy or peach nectar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 6 to 8 small ripe, firm peaches

Preparation:

In a 4- to 6-quart saucepan, combine the water, orange juice, brandy or nectar, sugar, honey, and vanilla. Bring to a full boil. Add peaches and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and continue cooking for 15 to 20 minutes, until peaches are tender. Using a slotted spoon, remove peaches to a bowl to cool completely.

Boil the syrup for about 10 minutes, or until reduced by about half. Cool syrup. To serve, peel the peaches and serve with the syrup.
Serves 6.
