Ingredients

• 4 whole Fresh peaches
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and pit the peaches. Slice each peach into 6-8 wedges and set aside.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Carefully add the peach slices to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté the peaches for 2-3 minutes on one side until they begin to caramelize slightly. Flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove the caramelized peaches from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 4

In the same skillet, combine the granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. Stir just until the sugar has dissolved, then let the mixture cook undisturbed. Watch closely as the mixture begins to bubble and turns a golden amber color, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Do not stir during this process; only swirl the skillet gently if needed for even cooking.

Step 5

Once the sugar mixture has reached an amber color, reduce the heat to low and carefully stir in the heavy cream. Be cautious, as the mixture may bubble vigorously. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Add the sautéed peaches back into the skillet and gently toss to coat them in the caramel sauce. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the salt and vanilla extract, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the caramelized peaches warm, either on their own or as a topping for ice cream, pancakes, or yogurt.
