How to Make Drambuie Spiced Peaches

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cinnamon stick (about 2 inches). Cook over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  3. Boil rapidly for 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  4. Gently add the 4 halved and pitted peaches to the hot syrup.
  5. Return the saucepan to low heat and poach the peaches for 3-5 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Do not overcook.
  6. Remove the peaches from the syrup and let them cool slightly in the syrup.
  7. Once the peaches have cooled slightly, carefully remove the cinnamon stick. Stir in 1/4 cup of Drambuie liqueur.
  8. Allow the peaches to cool completely in the syrup. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Serve chilled. Enjoy!
