Bourbon-Maple Peaches
Bourbon Maple Roasted Peaches
Everyone knows Georgia has the best peaches. You know the ones -those plump juicy stone fruits that are durable enough to endure a nice char on the grill but also delicate enough to munch into like an apple. BRB, DROOLING!
Here is a nice way to highlight the sweet and tangy nectar of a velvety Georgia peach.
Ingredients:
2 ripe peaches
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup bourbon
Splash of vanilla
½ stick unsalted butter, room temp
Chopped walnuts
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425°f
Carefully slice peaches in half and remove the pit
In a bowl, whip brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and butter to combine
If the mixture is too thick, you can add a splash of water. You’re looking for a slightly runny, coarse texture
Brush the exposed flesh of the peach with your mixture and place cut side up on a baking sheet
Using a paring knife, make small incisions in the peach so steam can escape and absorb the mixture.
Bake for 15 minutes
Remove & brush with mixture before returning back to the oven for 15 more minutes
Once tender & slightly cooled, your peaches are ready to eat.
Serve with vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream & fresh mint
