Description
Summer peaches are poached in their own juices with aromatic spice for sweet flavor and then served with the reduced juice-syrup and cool whipped cream or yogurt.
Ingredients
Units
- 3 peaches
- 2 cups of water
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 cloves
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream or Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Peel and halve the peaches, removing the pits.
- In a pot, combine water, cinnamon stick, cloves, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
- Add the peach halves to the pot and poach for about 10 minutes until tender.
- Remove peaches and continue to simmer the liquid until it reduces to a syrup.
- Serve the peaches with the syrup drizzled over and a dollop of whipped cream or yogurt.
Notes
Your peaches should still be firm, but ripe, before you cook them. You don’t want them to be falling apart after they are poached.
To make this vegan, substitute agave for the honey and use coconut whipped cream or a non-dairy yogurt as the topping.
