Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 fresh peaches, cut in half and pitted (white peaches are my favorite or you can sub nectarine or apricots)
1/2 c dark balsamic vinegar
1/4 c freshly squeezed orange juice (save some of the orange zest for garnish, if desired)
1 Tbsp honey, warmed *gently* so that it is easier to stir
6 Tbsp crème fraîche or homemade whipped cream (please, no cool whip)

Steps:

  • 1. Place peaches, cut-side up, in a large casserole dish
  • 2. In a non-reactive prep bowl, whisk together the dark balsamic vinegar, orange juice, and honey. Pour over peaches and set aside to absorb for 15 minutes.
  • 3. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, place peaches, cut-side down, along with the marinade. Cook about 3 minutes, or until slightly softened. If the peaches look like they may start to burn, lower heat. Transfer a peach half to each serving dish, add a dollop of crème fraîche, garnish of orange zest if desired and drizzle marinade from the pan over and around.

I wish the recipe had more information about how to caramelize the peaches. Mine just ended up burning.

This was way too complicated for me. I ended up throwing it all away and ordering pizza.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my peaches didn't caramelize at all. They just got soft and mushy.

I used a combination of brown sugar and honey to caramelize the peaches. It gave them a lovely golden-brown color.

I added a few sprigs of fresh thyme to the peaches while they were roasting. It added a nice herby flavor.

I didn't have any balsamic vinegar, so I used soy sauce instead. It still worked fine, but the flavor was a bit different.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream.

I'm not sure I caramelized the peaches enough, because they weren't very tender. But the balsamic syrup was delicious.

This is a great weeknight dessert. It's quick and easy to make, and it's a lot lighter than most other fruit-based dishes.
