Ingredients
- 3 ΒΌ cup sauterne or barsac
- 2 cups noncarbonated mineral water
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 whole large white peaches
Instructions
- Mix together sauternes, water, and sugar in a deep saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Lower peaches into simmering liquid and blanch just long enough to loosen their skins, about 2 minutes. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon, then carefully peel and place in a deep bowl. Immediately cover peaches themselves with plastic wrap to keep them from turning brown.
- Continue to simmer poaching liquid until it has reduced by half and thickened slightly, about 30 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and allow syrup to cool completely.
- Pour the cooled syrup over peaches and set aside to macerate for 2 - 4 hours before serving.
