Ingredients
- 6 whole fresh peaches
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Peel the peaches by blanching: Score a small 'X' at the bottom of each peach, then place them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to an ice bath to cool. Slip off the skins and slice the peaches into wedges, discarding the pits.
Step 2
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg to the melted butter. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes syrupy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sliced peaches to the skillet and gently stir to coat them in the syrup.
Step 5
Pour in the water and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the peaches to soften slightly.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the vanilla extract and Kahlua coffee liqueur. Let everything simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
If the sauce appears too runny, increase the heat slightly to reduce it, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the spiced peaches cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm over vanilla ice cream, pound cake, or enjoy on their own with a dollop of whipped cream.
