Drunken Peaches

Peaches are everywhere right now at the farmers market. I bought a bunch and decided to have them cook in the best summer wine- rose! One key factor is the ripeness of the peach, make sure they're pretty ripe or they will be hard to peel. This is a great dessert on a summer night and feel free to pour over vanilla ice cream. Serves 4

Ingredients

6 ripe white peaches, cut an x at the bottom of each
1/2 bottle of rose (about 1.5 cups)
1/2 cup sugar
Juice from 1 lemon
12 mint leaves
vanilla ice cream

In a large bowl, pour cold water over some ice, set aside
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot
Add peaches and cooked for 1 minute

Remove with a spoon and place in the ice bath

After about 3 mintues, remove the peaches and peel

Cut in half

Remove pit and cut in half again

In a sauce pan, combine sugar, rose, lemon juice, and half of the mint

Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly

Once sugar is melted, add peaches

Let simmer in the mixture for about 5 minutes then flip

Cook for another 5 minutes and allow to cool (about 10 minutes)
