Steps:
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut an X in blossom end of peaches. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch peaches 15 seconds and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Peel peaches and cut each into 8 wedges. In a small bowl toss peaches with lemon juice.
- In an 8- to 9-inch heavy skillet cook sugar 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, 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully add peaches and cream (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Cook mixture, stirring frequently, until caramel is dissolved and peaches are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Cool peaches to warm and serve over ice cream.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare ice cream in advance, if using homemade. Then, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Dip the peaches in, 1 at a time, until the skins loosen, about 10 seconds. Peel, pit, and cut the peaches in half. Put in a bowl. Add the lime or lemon juice. Toss gently to coat to help prevent the peaches from turning brown for a short time. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours. 2. Meanwhile, toast the nuts in a small, dry skillet over medium heat, stirring and shaking the pan, until fragrant and lightly toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve the peaches cold, cut side up, in small dessert bowls with ice cream spooned into the cavities. Sprinkle lightly with nuts. Drizzle a little chocolate syrup on top, if desired.From "1,000 Mexican Recipes." Copyright 2001 by Marge Poore. Used with permission of the publisher, Wiley Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
