How to Make Peaches In Sauternes

  1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently add 4-6 ripe peaches and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the skins begin to loosen.
  2. Remove the peaches with a slotted spoon and immediately plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  3. Once cool enough to handle, peel the peaches. Slice them into wedges, removing the pits.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the peach wedges with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup Sauternes (or a sweet dessert wine like late harvest Riesling), and 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier or another orange liqueur.
  5. Gently stir to coat the peaches evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Serve the chilled Peaches in Sauternes. Enjoy the cool, sweet, and slightly boozy delight!
