Ingredients

2 peaches, pitted and chopped

2 cups sugar 

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

12 whole basil leaves, cut into a chiffonade 

Directions

  1. Place the chopped peaches in a bowl or mason jar and set aside.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar and 2 cups of water. Stir to combine. Turn the heat to medium high and boil until the syrup becomes thicker but is not yet starting to turn color, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour the syrup over the chopped peaches. Allow to sit at room temperature for 1 hour (or you can chill in the fridge).
  3. To serve, spoon the peach syrup over the vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with the basil.

It was absolutely delicious. Instead of chiffonade the basil, I infused the syrup with it.
