A sophisticated dessert that is great on its own, mixed with sweet berries or used as a topping for ice cream or frozen yogurt. Ingredients:
1 cup semisweet white wine (such as french colombard) |
1/2 cup water |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons honey |
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise |
1 1/4 pounds firm ripe peaches (unpeeled), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices |
Directions:
1. Bring first 5 ingredients to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into syrup. Return bean to syrup. Cover and continue simmering 5 minutes. Add peaches and poach until just tender when pierced with tip of sharp knife, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead.)
2. Remove vanilla bean and any loose pieces of peach skin before serving.
