Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole ripe peaches
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Wash the peaches thoroughly. Cut each peach in half, remove the pit, and slice into wedges about 1/2 inch thick.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger to get 1 tablespoon of grated ginger.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the grated ginger to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the peach slices to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the ginger butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and honey evenly over the peaches. Stir gently to mix.
Add the lemon juice and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Simmer the peaches for 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but not mushy, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the peaches are cooked and the sauce is slightly thickened, remove from heat.
Serve warm as a topping for vanilla ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, or enjoy as is. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
