1 bushel peach
2 cups Bourbon
4 cups sugar
2 cups filtered water
nutmeg
10 allspice berries
cinnamon stick (optional, for can garnish)

  • Bring a large pot filled half way with water to a boil, reduce the heat and keep just at a low boil.
  • Place whole peaches in water for 2 minutes (this may vary, depending on the ripeness of the peach-the riper they are the shorter it will take) Remove from water, let cool until you can handle the fruit.
  • Remove pit by slicing peach in half length-wise, then peel.
  • Place fruit in clean hot jars (I use wide mouth jars for this).

  • Should be reduced by 1/3.
  • Ladle bourbon syrup over peaches, leaving about 1 inch head space at the top of the jar.

BOURBON-GLAZED PEACHES WITH MASCARPONE CREAM



Bourbon-Glazed Peaches with Mascarpone Cream image

My solution to not-so-great-tasting peaches is to roast, grill or saute them. It adds so much extra flavor. A little salt, a little sugar and, in this case, a little bourbon ... the ideas are endless!

Provided by Jessica Merchant

Categories     dessert

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 peaches, halved and pitted
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2/3 cup mascarpone
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon honey, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the peaches with the salt and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cut sides with the brown sugar. Flip again and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan and toss and flip the peaches a few times.
  • Whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.
  • Divide the peaches among 4 plates and top each with a few dollops of the mascarpone cream. Add another drizzle of honey if you'd like more sweetness. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.

  • Fill canning pot with water & put onto boil.
  • Combine sugar with 6 cups water & heat. Allow to simmer.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm peaches for poaching. Avoid peaches that are too soft or bruised.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot to prevent the peaches from sticking to the bottom and burning.
  • Make sure the poaching liquid covers the peaches completely. If it doesn't, add more water or bourbon.
  • Bring the poaching liquid to a simmer before adding the peaches. This will help to prevent the peaches from breaking apart.
  • Poach the peaches for 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Remove the peaches from the poaching liquid and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Serve the peaches with whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt.

The peaches are sweet and juicy, and the bourbon adds a subtle flavor that makes them extra special. These peaches can be served with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or yogurt. They can also be used in pies, tarts, and other desserts.
