Steps:
- Bring wine, sugar, lemon zest, lemon verbena, and water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over high heat. Carefully add peaches, and reduce heat to medium. Gently simmer until tender all the way to the pit when pierced with a skewer or a sharp knife, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer peaches to a plate. Let cool slightly. When cool enough to handle, peel off skin.
- Meanwhile, return poaching liquid to a simmer, and cook until reduced by about three-quarters, about 20 minutes. Pour through a sieve, and discard zest and leaves. (You should have about 1 cup syrup.) Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Refrigerate single layers of peaches and the syrup in separate airtight containers until cold, at least 30 minutes (or overnight). To serve, place a peach on a serving plate and spoon about 3 tablespoons syrup around each peach. Garnish with lemon verbena if desired.

Steps:
- Put the kettle on, and fill a large bowl with iced water. Place the peaches in another large bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 30 secs, then remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the cold water. The skins should now peel away easily.
- Place the wine, honey and vanilla pod in a pan large enough to hold all the peaches, then gently heat until the honey has dissolved. Lower the peaches into the pan, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins until tender but not overly soft. Using two wooden spoons, turn the fruit 3 or 4 times while cooking and frequently baste with the syrup. Remove the cooked peaches from the pan and set to one side in a large bowl.
- Boil the syrup hard until it has reduced by half (this will take about 10 mins). Spoon over the peaches, then set aside to cool. The peaches will keep for up to 2 days, covered and in the fridge. Serve the peaches and syrup at room temperature, warm or chilled with spoonfuls of clotted cream, if you like.

Steps:
- Cut orange and lemon half into thin slices and remove the pits.
- Place the peaches in a single layer in a casserole. Add the water, wine, sugar and vanilla pod and cover with the orange and lemon slices. The liquid should barely cover the fruit.
- Cut a round of wax paper the same size as the casserole and make a small hole in the middle. Bring the fruit to a boil, then skim any foam that rises to the surface.
- Lower the heat so one single bubble breaks at the top, then place the wax paper over the top and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup.
- Remove the peaches from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Slip off their skins. Place the peaches in a glass bowl and top with the orange and lemon slices. Strain the syrup over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours.

Steps:
- Combine wine and seltzer in a medium-size nonreactive saucepan. Add sugar, lemon and orange peels, peppercorns and cinnamon and bring to boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high and boil for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Strain the syrup and then refrigerate until chilled.
- Puree the raspberries in a food processor. Strain the puree into a bowl and set aside. When the cabernet syrup is cold, stir into the raspberry puree.
- Peel and pit the peaches. If they are very ripe, they should peel easily without blanching; otherwise blanch them and remove their skins. Cut the peaches into even slices and divide them among four large round wine glasses. Taste the wine syrup and add more sugar, lemon juice or seltzer to taste. The syrup should be quite thin. Pour the syrup over the peaches and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Using a sharp knife, lightly score bottom (not stem end) of each peach with hatch marks.
- Prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Fill a large (4-quart) saucepan with enough cold water to cover peaches; remove peaches. Over high heat, bring water to a boil, and blanch peaches about 1 minute (more if skin is not pulling away from peach). Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer peaches to ice bath. Remove from ice water, and peel. Set aside peaches and skins.
- Reserve 4 cups of poaching liquid in pan; add skins and honey. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 11/2 cups. Pour liquid through a sieve set over a bowl, and discard skins. Immediately spoon syrup over peaches, and serve.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm white peaches: They should have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the syrup from scorching.
- Bring the syrup to a boil before adding the peaches: This will help to infuse the peaches with flavor.
- Gently simmer the peaches in the syrup: Do not boil them, as this will make them tough.
- Let the peaches cool in the syrup: This will help them to absorb more flavor.
- Serve the peaches chilled: They can be served on their own, with whipped cream or ice cream, or used in other desserts.
Conclusion:
Chilled white peaches poached in rose syrup are a delicious and refreshing summer dessert. They are easy to make and can be served in a variety of ways. With their beautiful pink color and delicate flavor, they are sure to impress your guests.
