How to Make Peaches Foster With Ice Cream

  1. Prepare an ice bath: Fill a large bowl with ice and cold water. Set aside.
  2. Blanch the peaches: Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Gently add the peaches and cook for 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the peaches to the ice bath to cool completely (this stops the cooking process).
  3. Peel and slice: Once cool, peel the peaches using a paring knife. Cut the peaches into 1/2-inch thick wedges, discarding the pits.
  4. Make the sauce: Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter in a 10-to 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup dark rum (or substitute with orange juice for a non-alcoholic version), 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and well combined.
  5. Simmer the peaches: Add the prepared peach wedges to the skillet. Simmer, stirring and turning the peaches occasionally, until tender, about 3-5 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly.
  6. Serve warm: Remove from heat and let cool slightly until warm. Serve immediately over scoops of your favorite ice cream.
  7. Garnish and enjoy: Garnish with 1/4 cup toasted pecans (optional) and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor.
