Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Fresh peaches
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Dark rum
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Peel and dice the fresh peaches into small cubes, discarding the pits.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Add the diced peaches to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the melted butter.
Sprinkle the brown sugar over the peaches, and pour in the water. Stir well to combine.
Allow the mixture to cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peaches start to soften and release their juices.
Add the dark rum, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir to combine.
Simmer the sauce for an additional 5–7 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. For a smoother texture, you may use an immersion blender to puree the sauce to your desired consistency.
Serve the Peach Rum Sauce warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
