Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large fresh ripe peaches
- 0.25 cup Drambuie liqueur
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 0.25 cup water
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch pinch of salt
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then prepare a bowl of ice water.
Score a small 'X' at the bottom of each peach using a sharp knife. Blanch the peaches in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them immediately to the ice water to cool.
Once cooled, gently peel the skins off the peaches. Slice them in half, remove the pits, and cut each peach into wedges.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and stir until dissolved into a smooth caramel-like consistency.
Add the water, Drambuie liqueur, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the skillet. Stir to combine into a spiced syrup.
Carefully add the peach wedges to the skillet, tossing them gently to coat in the syrup.
Simmer the peaches over medium-low heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender but not falling apart and the syrup has slightly thickened.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the peaches cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature over ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes, or enjoy them on their own.
