I Really Love Your Peaches

Boozy fruit and vanilla ice cream is a match made in heaven; take it from me.  I won't swear that it's noted in religious texts, but I won't deny it either (I may have a future as a politician...).  The tart edge of the prepared fruit combined with the ethereal pillows of fat laden ice cream in all of its vanilla glory is truly a testament to the divine.  What a lovely tip of the hat to an outstandingly beautiful June day.

Poached Peaches Over Ice Cream

Ingredients:

2 C of Moscato or other sweet wine

1 1/2 C of water

1 C of sugar

1 sprig of rosemary

1 tsp of vanilla

4 peaches cut in 1/2 with pits removed


Directions:

Combine wine, water, sugar, rosemary, and vanilla in 10 inch skillet.  Bring to a boil and reduce heat so that the mixture is maintained at a simmer.

Add halved peaches skin side down and simmer for 5 minutes.  Flip over and simmer for 4 additional minutes.  

Remove peaches, set aside, and let cool.  While the fruit is cooling, reduce poaching liquid to a syrupy consistency (increase the heat a bit).  Remove skin from peaches and slice.  

Arrange over bowls of ice cream and drizzle syrup as you see fit.  

Revel in the delight.
