Oven-Roasted Sugared Peaches Delight

Ingredients

- 6 ripe peaches
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Peeler or paring knife
- Pot & ice water
- Baking sheet
- Freezer bags or containers

Instructions

1. Prep the Peaches:
- Begin by washing the peaches thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a peeler or a sharp paring knife to remove the skin from each peach carefully.

2. Blanch & Shock:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Prepare an ice water bath by filling a large bowl with ice and water.
- Gently place the peeled peaches into the boiling water for about 30 seconds.
- Immediately transfer them to the ice water bath to stop the cooking process. This step enhances the texture of the peaches. Allow the peaches to sit for 1-2 minutes, then remove and pat dry with a paper towel.

3. Slice and Sweeten:
- Once the peaches have cooled completely, slice them into halves and remove the pits.
- Arrange the peach halves on a baking sheet, placing them cut-side up.
- Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over all the peach halves, ensuring generous coating.

4. Roast the Peaches:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the baking sheet with the sugared peach halves in the oven.
- Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sugar begins to caramelize and the peaches are tender yet still hold their shape.

5. Cool and Store:
- Once roasted, remove the peaches from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- If you wish to store the peaches, transfer them to freezer bags or containers, making sure there’s no air trapped in the bags before sealing.
- Store in the freezer for future use, or serve immediately for a delightful warm dessert.
