Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Peaches
- 1 cup Ice wine
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the peaches into the boiling water and blanch for 30 seconds to 1 minute, just until the skins loosen.
Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Once cooled, gently peel off the skins using your hands or a paring knife.
In a separate medium saucepan, combine the ice wine, water, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add the peeled peaches to the saucepan, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Reduce the heat to low and gently poach the peaches for 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are just tender but not falling apart.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached peaches from the saucepan and set them aside on a serving plate.
Increase the heat to medium and let the poaching liquid simmer until it reduces by half and becomes a light syrup, about 5-7 minutes.
Drizzle the reduced ice wine syrup over the poached peaches. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve warm or chilled.
