Elegant Poached Peaches in Wine with Vanilla and Mint



Ingredients



- 2 cups white or rosé wine
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ripe peaches or plums, halved and pitted
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish
- Whipped cream, for serving

Instructions



1. Prepare the Poaching Liquid:
- In a large saucepan, pour in 2 cups of wine. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of honey. Stir well to combine.
- Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla bean paste, or if using vanilla extract, add 1 teaspoon now. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well incorporated.

2. Poach the Peaches/Plums:
- Gently place the halved and pitted peaches (or plums) into the saucepan, cut side down. Ensure the fruit is partially submerged in the poaching liquid.
- Turn the stove to medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow the fruit to poach for about 15 minutes or until tender, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.

3. Infuse with Mint:
- Turn off the heat and add a few fresh mint leaves to the saucepan. Allow the fruit to cool in the liquid for an enhanced minty aroma.

4. Prepare for Serving:
- Once cooled, remove the fruit from the liquid and place it in serving bowls. Drizzle a bit of the poaching liquid over the fruit for added flavor.

5. Garnish and Serve:
- Top each serving with a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish with additional fresh mint leaves for a touch of color and freshness.
