We were looking for a sauce to put over ice cream and found this. It works on ice cream, yogurt, and anything else where a sauce like this sounds good. It is very sweet.
Whiskey Peach Sauce
ingredients
- 3Cups
Coarsely puréed very ripe peaches (about 5 small or 3 large, see note)
- 1Cup
Lightly packed dark brown sugar
- 1Cup
Granulated sugar
- 5Tablespoons
Bourbon or Whiskey
- 2Teaspoon
Freshly grated lemon zest
instructions
Combine peaches, brown sugar, granulated sugar, whiskey, and lemon zest in a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove pot from heat. To preserve the sauce, ladle it into hot, sterilized jars and process them in a hot-water bath for 10 minutes. Otherwise, store sauce in the refrigerator for up to a month.
notes
Try swapping some of the peaches for apricots.
You can use peach schnapps, dark rum, or a spirit of your choice in place of the whiskey.
