How to Make Poached Peaches In Mint Syrup
- In a deep saucepan, combine 1 cup water and 1/2 cup granulated sugar. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Add 4 ripe peaches (halved and pitted).
- Simmer gently for 5 minutes, or until peaches are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
- Carefully remove peaches from the syrup using a slotted spoon and place them in a bowl.
- Add 1/2 cup packed fresh mint leaves, torn, to the simmering syrup. Simmer for 1 minute to infuse the mint flavor.
- Pour the fragrant mint syrup over the peaches.
- Let the peaches cool completely to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- To serve: Place each peach half in a small bowl or glass. Spoon the mint syrup generously over the peaches and garnish with a fresh mint sprig.
