Steps:
- Combine sugar, lemon peel, and vanilla bean with 3 cups cold water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, covered, until sugar is completely dissolved, 8 to 10 minutes. Uncover, and cook for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat, and let stand about 10 minutes. Stir in Sauternes, and set aside.
- Place peaches in a large pan of boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath with a slotted spoon. Peel peaches, place in a canning jar or serving bowl, and pour Sauternes syrup over. Drape cheesecloth over peaches to keep them submerged, and set aside until cool. Leave cheesecloth in place, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally to keep peaches from browning.

Stir in the sugar, Sauternes, and orange liqueur. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight. Serve cool but not cold.

FRESH PEACHES IN SAUTERNES SOAK WITH ANGELICA AND LAVENDER
This is a wonderful, light summery dessert, which never fails to please my guests, as well as my family and friends! Fresh peaches are soaked in sweet Sauternes with angelica leaves and lavender flowers tucked amongst them. Angelica is an interesting, aromatic tasting herb, and although I normally only use the stems to candy or crystallise (Recipe #248003) I have discovered that the leaves also make a great accompaniment when used with fresh fruit. Try to serve this fresh fruit salad in a large clear glass bowl for maximum impact; it just looks so pretty with the light shining through the fruit, juices and herbs! I find that the only thing that is needed to serve this is a good dollop of crème fraiche. I have also made this with apricots and melon for a slight change. I like to use a combination of white and yellow peaches for this recipe - but please use local and fresh peaches regional to your area. Prep time includes the minimum "soaking" time. I have not tried this with tinned peaches, but suspect that they may be too "soft" to hold their shape for prolonged soaking.

Steps:
- Arrange the peach slices into the bottom of a large serving dish. Sprinkle over the lavender heads and then add the angelica leaves.
- Pour over enough dessert wine to cover the peaches. Turn the peach slices over a couple of times to coat them in the liquid, then cover the dish and chill the mixture in the fridge for at least four hours, or preferably overnight.
- To serve, spoon a portion of peaches in Sauternes into each of six serving bowls. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche.

PEACHES IN SAUTERNES
Easy but elegant way to serve juicy, ripe summer peaches, from Ina Garten. If you are unable to get your hands on a nice Sauternes, substitute with another good quality sweet white dessert wine. But, do not confuse Sauternes with Sauterne--it is an entirely different animal, the former being a sweet French dessert wine, the latter being a dry to semisweet wine made in the States.

Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and immerse the peaches for a minute or two, until the skins come off easily; remove them with a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. (My peaches probably weren't peeled as prettily as Ina's, but I just skipped this process and went ahead and peeled them.).
- Peel the peaches, then slice into wedges off the pit and into a bowl.
- Stir in the sugar, Sauternes, and orange liqueur.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Serve cool, but not cold.

Tips:
- Choose ripe, aromatic peaches. The flavor of the peaches will be the star of the dish, so make sure to use the best quality fruit you can find.
- Use a good quality Sauternes wine. A sweet, fruity Sauternes will complement the peaches perfectly. Look for a wine with notes of honey, apricot, and citrus.
- Don't overcook the peaches. Peaches should be cooked until they are just tender, but still hold their shape. Overcooked peaches will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Serve the peaches warm or at room temperature. Peaches in Sauternes can be served warm from the pan, or you can let them cool to room temperature before serving. Either way, they are delicious.
Conclusion:
Peaches in Sauternes is a classic French dessert that is easy to make and always impressive. The sweet, juicy peaches are perfectly complemented by the rich, fruity wine. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dessert. Whether you are a seasoned chef or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you have some ripe peaches, give Peaches in Sauternes a try. You won't be disappointed.
