Caramelized Peach Delight on the Stove

Ingredients

- 4 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peaches:
- Rinse and gently dry the peaches.
- Halve each peach, remove the pits, and slice them evenly into thick wedges.

2. Begin Caramelization:
- In a large non-stick skillet, combine the sugar and water.
- Turn the stove to medium heat and stir occasionally until the sugar is fully dissolved.

3. Transform the Sugar:
- Allow the sugar mixture to gently simmer without stirring, swirling the pan occasionally, until it turns a light amber color. This should take about 10 minutes.

4. Add the Peach Slices:
- Reduce the heat to low and carefully add the peach slices to the caramel. Be cautious as the mixture may initially splatter.
- Use a spatula to gently coat the peach slices with the caramel.

5. Cook the Peaches:
- Let the peaches cook for about 8–10 minutes, occasionally turning them to ensure even cooking and caramelization. They should become tender but not mushy.

6. Finish and Serve:
- Once the peaches are cooked to your desired tenderness, remove the skillet from the heat.
- Let them cool slightly before serving warm in individual dessert bowls.
