Bourbon-Glazed Peaches with Mascarpone Cream image

My solution to not-so-great-tasting peaches is to roast, grill or saute them. It adds so much extra flavor. A little salt, a little sugar and, in this case, a little bourbon ... the ideas are endless!

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 peaches, halved and pitted
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/4 cup bourbon
2/3 cup mascarpone
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon honey, plus more for drizzling
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fresh mint, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the peaches with the salt and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cut sides with the brown sugar. Flip again and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan and toss and flip the peaches a few times.
  • Whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.
  • Divide the peaches among 4 plates and top each with a few dollops of the mascarpone cream. Add another drizzle of honey if you'd like more sweetness. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.

I've never made anything with mascarpone cheese before, but it was surprisingly easy. This recipe is a great way to use up ripe peaches.

These peaches were a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The mascarpone cream helped to sweeten them up a bit.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my peaches didn't come out as glazed as I expected. They were still tasty, but not as visually appealing.
