Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Peach, fresh

  • 480 ml Alcohol, Wine, Red

  • 100 g Sugar, white

  • 60 ml Alcohol, Rum

  • 1 piece Spices, cinnamon, ground

  • 4 slice Orange, fresh

Steps

  1. Place a pot of water on the stove and wait for it to boil. Submerge the peaches in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then drain, cool, and peel them. Peeled peaches are halved and the pits are removed.

  2. In a pot, mix the wine, sugar, and brandy. Place the pot on medium heat and slowly heat the mixture while stirring.

  3. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, add the cinnamon stick, orange slices, and peach halves. Pour the sugar syrup over the peaches (use a spoon to help). Add enough water to fully cover the peaches. Wait for the liquid to boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the peaches for 10 to 15 minutes, or until they soften but remain firm.

  4. Remove the peaches from the pot and place them on a plate. Increase the heat to bring the syrup to a boil. Let the syrup boil for about 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

  5. Remove the pot from the heat and add the peaches back in. Pour the syrup over them again. Let the peaches and syrup cool slightly. Optionally, turn the peaches while they cool.

  6. The dessert can be served warm or cold. A scoop of good ice cream makes an excellent accompaniment.
