Champagne Poached Peach Delight

Ingredients

- 2 cups frozen peaches
- 1 cup champagne
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by allowing the frozen peaches to partially thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This will ensure they cook evenly and absorb the flavors.

2. Combine the Poaching Liquid
In a medium saucepan, combine the champagne, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir gently until the sugar is dissolved.

3. Poach the Peaches
Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Add the partially thawed peaches to the poaching liquid. Ensure the peaches are submerged as much as possible.

4. Simmer
Allow the mixture to come to a simmer. This should take approximately 5 minutes. Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the peaches for 15 minutes, or until they are tender but not mushy.

5. Cool and Serve
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the poached peaches cool in the liquid for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the peaches to absorb more flavor.

6. Plate Your Dessert
Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the peaches to serving plates. Drizzle some of the reduced poaching liquid over the top for added flavor and visual appeal.

7. Garnish and Enjoy
Garnish with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint for color contrast and freshness. Serve immediately for a refreshing and elegant dessert.
