topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

    Grilled Peaches:

  • 6 peaches, halved (pits removed)
  • 55 g unsalted butter
  • Sugar
  • Ground cinnamon
  • Peaches stuffed with crème fraîche:
    1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
  • Honey
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Peach Chutney (serving option):
    Ground cinnamon
  • Fresh mint leaves
  • Canola oil
  • Salt and ground black pepper

    Wine syrup:

  • 2.5 cups of red table wine
  • 1/2 tbsp. peach nectar
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey, plus extra for serving
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 split vanilla bean

Preparation:

  1. For the wine syrup: In a large skillet with high sides, combine the wine, peach nectar, brandy, 1/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons honey, cinnamon sticks, and vanilla bean. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a syrupy consistency, about 10 minutes. Strain.

    For peaches: Preheat a gas grill to medium-high heat.

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Brush the peach slices with butter and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and a little cinnamon. Sprinkle the remaining peach slices with sugar and cinnamon. Grill, cut side down, until lightly caramelized, 2-3 minutes.
  2. For the peach chutney: Coarsely chop the grilled peaches and toss them with another pinch of cinnamon, a few tablespoons of wine syrup, some torn mint leaves, a little canola oil, salt, and pepper. Pairs well with pork.

    For the peach dessert: Place the grilled caramelized peaches cut-side up on a platter. Place a small amount of crème fraîche in the center of each half, drizzle with wine syrup, a little honey, and garnish with mint leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature.
