Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Ripe peaches
- 1.5 cups Dry red wine
- 0.5 cups Orange juice
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
- Optional: Vanilla ice cream
Instructions
Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove the pits, then set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, orange juice, honey, lemon zest, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, carefully add the peach halves to the saucepan with the cut side facing down.
Reduce the heat to low and poach the peaches for 12-15 minutes, periodically spooning the sangria mixture over the fruit. The peaches should soften but keep their shape.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the peaches to cool to room temperature in the sangria mixture.
Transfer the peaches and sangria liquid to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.
When ready to serve, place the peaches in bowls, drizzle with some of the sangria syrup, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
For an optional indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
