Ingredients
- 8 fresh peaches, semi to full ripe
- 2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 bag frozen raspberries, defrosted
- 4 tablespoons Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 1-2 pints vanilla ice cream
- 1 pint fresh raspberries
Directions
- Wash peaches and cut in half. Not necessary to peel or remove stones at this point.
- Bring sugar, water and lemon juice to a boil. Add peaches and return to boil. Once boiling turn to low simmer and gently turn peaches over once in a while to ensure even poaching.
- Remove peaches from liquid after about 5 minutes or when an inserted paring knife goes in easily. Do not discard poaching liquid.
- When cool enough to handle, peel peaches and remove stones. Cover with plastic food wrap. When poaching liquid has reached room temperature place peaches back into liquid to keep moist.
- Puree raspberries until completely liquefied. Run through a sieve to remove seeds. Place in bowl and add remaining sugar. If desired a small amount of berry liquor can be added.
- Serve when peaches are cold, or if desired serve warm. For the latter reheat poaching liquid and allow peaches to become warm.
- Serve with ice cream, raspberry sauce and fresh raspberries.
