PECAN-CARAMEL PARFAITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put pecans in a pie plate and roast in the oven until nutty smelling and toasty, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, remove ice cream from freezer and let stand at room temperature or at least 15 minutes to soften.
• Remove nuts from the oven and let cool. Turn off oven.
• Choose 4 to 6 clear plastic parfait glasses, beer glasses, or any see-through unbreakable glass of at least 12-ounce capacity.
• In each of the glasses, put about 2 tablespoons caramel or butterscotch sauce in bottom. Top with a layer of softened ice cream, packing it down slightly and being careful not to smear the sides of the glass too much (if you do smear glass while making layers, wipe down inside with paper towels as you work). Sprinkle with a teaspoon or so of pecans. Continue layering in the same fashion: sauce, ice cream, pecans until you reach the top of the glass. Make the last layer sauce and sprinkle it with pecans.
• Wrap the glasses tightly with plastic wrap and put in freezer (or outside in the snow) until ready to serve.

• Remove from heat and add butter, swirling skillet until incorporated.
• Serve peaches and ice cream with warm caramel sauce.

• Drain the peach slices and put them in a bowl.
• Count them to see how many you have.
• Since this recipe makes 6 servings, divide that number by 6 - that's how many peach slices you have for each parfait.
• It's probably between 3 and 4.
• Divide the broken cookies into 3 equal piles.
• Divide the first pile equally into the bottoms of 6 eight ounces glasses (regular tall drinking glasses).
• Drop a scoop of ice cream into each.
• Top with a peach slice or two (about 1/3 peach supply).
• Sprinkle into each glass the pieces from the second cookie piece pile.
• Top with another scoop of ice cream and another peach slice or two.
• Put in the last of the cookie pieces, the last of the peaches and one more scoop of ice cream to fill each glass.
• Stick two mint cookies into the ice cream at angles to form a V.

BRANDIED PEACH PARFAITS

Steps:

• Cut a shallow X in bottom of each peach with a sharp paring knife and blanch in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling water 10 seconds. Transfer peaches with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water and let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel peaches, then halve lengthwise and pit. Cut peaches into 1-inch pieces, then toss with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons brandy in a bowl.
• Cook sugar in a dry 9- to 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling skillet, until deep golden. Carefully add peach mixture (caramel will harden and steam vigorously) and cook, stirring frequently, until caramel is dissolved and peaches are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, then stir in remaining tablespoon brandy.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons peach mixture into each glass, then top with a small scoop of ice cream. Repeat with another layer of peaches and ice cream and spoon remaining peaches on top. Serve immediately.
