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!

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.

These peaches were a bit too sweet for my taste, but the mascarpone cream was delicious. I would probably try this recipe again with a different type of glaze.

I'm so glad I tried this recipe. The peaches were cooked to perfection and the glaze was amazing. The mascarpone cream was a nice touch, too. I'll definitely be making this again.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The bourbon glaze gave the peaches a nice caramelized flavor, while the mascarpone cream added a touch of sweetness and creaminess. I would definitely recommend this recipe to others.

These bourbon-glazed peaches were a hit! The glaze was perfectly balanced, not too sweet and not too tart. The mascarpone cream was the perfect complement to the peaches, adding a rich and creamy texture. I will definitely be making this recipe again
