Ingredients

3 cups red wine

1 cup sugar

1 cinnamon stick

2 whole cloves

2 to 3 whole peppercorns

1 or 2 strips lemon rind

2 large peaches, halved and pitted

1 pint vanilla bean ice cream

Whipped cream, in canister

Freshly grated nutmeg, to garnish

Directions

  1. Combine the wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and lemon rind in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and reduce heat to a bubble.
  2. Bring the poaching liquid to a boil and cook on high heat until reduced to a syrupy texture. Add the peaches and poach the fruit, spooning the syrup over them occasionally, until you can pierce the peach easily with a knife, about 5 minutes.
  3. Put the peach halves in 2 dessert bowls. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzle with the poaching syrup. Grate a little nutmeg over the top.

Great recipe!! Works great with pears too when peaches are out of season. Save money on the spices by purchasing the cinnamon sticks, cloves and peppercorns from the Hispanic Food aisle at your local grocery store. Much cheaper and equal quality than the spices found on the traditional spice aisle.
