GRILLED-PEACH SUNDAES WITH SALTED BOURBON-CARAMEL SAUCE
This recipe came to The Times from John Currence, the celebrated chef in Oxford, Miss. It is a meditation on the delights of summer: fresh, juicy peaches, cold buttermilk and whipped cream -- and grilling. The alcohol from the bourbon will burn off when you mix it into the caramel, so don't worry about serving it to children.

Steps:
- Prepare the peaches: Heat a charcoal grill while you bring a saucepan of water to simmer. Score the bottom of each peach with an X, then blanch for about 45 seconds, until skin near the X looks loose. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon and cool in a bowl of ice water. Peel the peaches. Then, with a paring knife, start at the stem of the peach and make a single cut around to the tip. Rotate hands in opposite directions, twist and free flesh from pit.
- Lay the peach halves cut side up and brush lightly with peanut oil; sprinkle with salt. Place the peaches cut side down on grill (you can also use a stovetop grill pan set over medium heat) and cook until there are grill marks, about 2 minutes. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Flip and grill the other side.
- Make the pecans: Toss the first four ingredients in a bowl; spread on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until nicely toasted. Remove and toss with the sugar.
- Make the caramel: Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Gently swirl the mixture in a circular motion (do not stir) and allow it to boil down until it is a deepamber caramel, at least 10 minutes. Carefully whisk in the cream, protecting your hand from the steam. Immediately whisk in the butter and continue to stir over low heat until mixture is smooth. Stir in salt and bourbon and whisk again. Remove from heat and allow to cool before using.
- Make the whipped cream: Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. Drizzle in the buttermilk and whip until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- To assemble: Place 2 peach halves in a bowl; scoop ice cream into each pit and add a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle salted bourbon-caramel sauce over the whole shebang.

FRESH PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE
Found this one on the recipe wall at Wilson Farms in Lexington MA. I haven't tried this yet (I haven't come across good fresh peaches lately), but I definitely intend to. If you prefer, the oj can be subbed with orange liqueur or peach brandy.

Steps:
- In a 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix in the water and juice. Bring this to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for one minute.
- Stir in the peaches and continue simmering for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften slightly. Remove from heat. Because the peaches will continue to cook in the hot syrup, you don't want to overcook them while pan is on the heat.
- Serve warm or cold over ice cream.
ROASTED PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the peaches out on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Roast until lightly caramelized and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- In a small saucepot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the honey, cinnamon, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Add the peaches. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

Steps:
- Place the 3 peeled and pitted peaches in container of an electric blender; process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down sides.
- Pour puree into a medium saucepan. Stir in sugar, orange juice, and jam; bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 1 cup peach slices, Triple Sec, and brandy.
- Serve warm over ice cream or pound cake.
Tips:
- Choose ripe peaches: Use ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. You can tell a peach is ripe when it yields to gentle pressure and has a sweet, fragrant smell.
- Peel the peaches easily: To easily peel the peaches, score a shallow X on the bottom of each peach. Place the peaches in a bowl of boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water. The skins will slip right off!
- Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the sauce. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it can be bitter.
- Adjust the sweetness: The amount of sugar in the sauce can be adjusted to your taste. If you like a sweeter sauce, add more sugar. If you prefer a less sweet sauce, reduce the amount of sugar.
- Chill the sauce before serving: Chilling the sauce before serving allows the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the sauce up to 3 days in advance.
Conclusion:
This fresh peach sundae sauce is the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of summer. It is easy to make and can be used to top ice cream, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, or even grilled chicken. With its bright, tangy flavor and juicy peaches, this sauce is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
