Best 8 Honey Poached Peaches Recipes

CARAMELIZED SKILLET PEACHES

Steps:

• Wash and dry peaches. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice peach halves into 1/2-inch/about 1.5 cm thick wedges. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach slices in a single layer, honey, and rosemary. Cook to caramelize, occasionally stirring, for about 7 to 9 minutes.
• Let buttery peaches cool down before eating so as not to burn your mouth. Then, serve warm peaches in a frying pan or on a plate, with their caramel sauce, aside with vanilla ice cream.

HONEY-POACHED PEACHES

Steps:

• Pour 2.5 c cold water into a large shallow pan or non-stick frying pan. Stir in the sugar and honey and cook over a low heat to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil, then bubble gently for 10 minutes.
• Add the peaches, then cover and simmer in the sugar syrup for 5-10min until just soft. Remove with a slotted spoon, put on to a plate and leave to cool.
• Boil the syrup for 10 mins until reduced to about 1 cup then cool and chill.
• Skin the peaches if you want to and serve with a little of the honey syrup.

VANILLA POACHED PEACHES

Steps:

• Put the kettle on, and fill a large bowl with iced water. Place the peaches in another large bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover. Leave for 30 secs, then remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and plunge them into the cold water. The skins should now peel away easily.
• Place the wine, honey and vanilla pod in a pan large enough to hold all the peaches, then gently heat until the honey has dissolved. Lower the peaches into the pan, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 mins until tender but not overly soft. Using two wooden spoons, turn the fruit 3 or 4 times while cooking and frequently baste with the syrup. Remove the cooked peaches from the pan and set to one side in a large bowl.
• Boil the syrup hard until it has reduced by half (this will take about 10 mins). Spoon over the peaches, then set aside to cool. The peaches will keep for up to 2 days, covered and in the fridge. Serve the peaches and syrup at room temperature, warm or chilled with spoonfuls of clotted cream, if you like.

POACHED PEACHES IN VANILLA SYRUP

Steps:

• To peel the peaches, plunge them into boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. remove and remove peel; cut peaches in half
• Bring water, sugar, vanilla and lemon slices to a boil. Add the peaches and simmer until tender. Remove the vanilla bean from the syrup and reduce the syrup by a third.
• Pit the peaches and cut them in quarters. Set them in a bowl, add the grapes and cranberries and pour hot vanilla syrup over them; chill until ready to eat. Eat as is chilled or as a topping for frozen yogurt or pound cake

PEACHES WITH HONEY SYRUP

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, lightly score bottom (not stem end) of each peach with hatch marks.
• Prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Fill a large (4-quart) saucepan with enough cold water to cover peaches; remove peaches. Over high heat, bring water to a boil, and blanch peaches about 1 minute (more if skin is not pulling away from peach). Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer peaches to ice bath. Remove from ice water, and peel. Set aside peaches and skins.
• Reserve 4 cups of poaching liquid in pan; add skins and honey. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 11/2 cups. Pour liquid through a sieve set over a bowl, and discard skins. Immediately spoon syrup over peaches, and serve.

FRESH PEACHES WITH TOAST AND HONEY

Steps:

• Find peaches that are fresh, slightly soft, very fragrant and heavy for their weight. (These are the peaches so succulent that the juices run down your chin when you bite into them.) Slice bread and brush with olive oil and place in toaster. While bread toasts, wash peaches and then split in half and remove pit. Discard pit and slice each peach half into 3 wedges. Place peaches on top of toast and drizzle with honey.
