Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Brandy
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 whole Cloves (optional)
Instructions
1. Begin by peeling the peaches. To make peeling easier, blanch the peaches in boiling water for 30-60 seconds, then transfer them to an ice water bath. The skins should slide off easily.
2. Once peeled, slice the peaches into wedges and discard the pits.
3. In a slow cooker, combine the brown sugar, honey, brandy, water, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract. Stir to mix well.
4. Add the peach wedges to the slow cooker and gently stir to coat them thoroughly in the spiced mixture.
5. Dot the top of the peaches with butter, spreading it evenly.
6. If using whole cloves, add them now. They will infuse a subtle, spicy note to the dish.
7. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 4 hours, or until the peaches are soft and infused with the spiced syrup.
8. Once done, carefully remove the peaches and transfer them to a serving dish or jar, leaving the syrup in the slow cooker.
9. If desired, simmer the syrup on the stovetop for a few minutes to thicken slightly, then pour it over the peaches.
10. Serve warm as a dessert, or use as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or waffles. Store leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
