"The simple act of taking a bite of a ripe peach in all its fresh, sweet, and sour glory is enough to conjure dreams of a perfect summer day outdoors."
"Poaching peaches in alcohol with sugar and spices enhances their fruity, floral flavors - a fabulous way to enjoy out-of-season imported peaches."
"Using spices such as vanilla, cinnamon, star anise, cardamom, or ginger will add extra warmth, but if you're looking for a sunnier approach, fresh lemon peel, lavender, and herbs like basil, thyme, and rosemary will brighten up the peaches."
"There are a couple of ways to poach peaches and other fruit, but the easiest only involves a saucepan, a poaching liquid, sugar, and any spices or herbs you wish to add."
Peaches are a versatile fruit perfect for a range of dishes from desserts to savory meals. A trend to elevate peaches is poaching them in bourbon with sugar and spices, enhancing their flavor profile. This method is especially beneficial for out-of-season peaches which can lack taste. The process is simple and involves scoring, boiling, and simmering the peaches in a bourbon-spice mixture. The addition of various herbs and spices can yield unique flavor combinations, making this a fun summer dessert option.
