Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 large firm ripe peaches (about 1 1/4 pounds)
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar
3 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 cup toasted pecan pieces
1 tablespoon bourbon
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place lemon juice in medium bowl. Peel and pit peaches. Slice thinly into bowl; toss to coat with lemon juice. Melt butter in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles. Add cream 1 tablespoon at a time and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches, pecans and bourbon. Cook until sauce is heated through, stirring constantly, about 1 minute longer.

    Step 2

    Scoop ice cream into bowls. Spoon sauce over and serve.
