Ingredients

• 4 whole Ripe peaches
• 1.5 cups Dry red wine
• 0.5 cups Orange juice
• 3 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 whole Cinnamon stick
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Fresh mint leaves
• 0 Optional: Vanilla ice cream

Directions

Step 1

Start by washing the peaches thoroughly. Cut them in half and remove the pits, then set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, combine the red wine, orange juice, honey, lemon zest, orange zest, cinnamon stick, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the honey is fully dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 4

Once simmering, carefully add the peach halves to the saucepan with the cut side facing down.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and poach the peaches for 12-15 minutes, periodically spooning the sangria mixture over the fruit. The peaches should soften but keep their shape.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the peaches to cool to room temperature in the sangria mixture.

Step 7

Transfer the peaches and sangria liquid to a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together.

Step 8

When ready to serve, place the peaches in bowls, drizzle with some of the sangria syrup, and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Step 9

For an optional indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side.
