Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large ripe peaches (2 pounds total)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
6 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup dark rum
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
Cane syrup pecan ice cream
Garnish: chopped toasted pecans

Steps:

  • Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Bring a 6-quart pot three-fourths full of water to a boil, then gently drop peaches into water and cook 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water and cool completely to stop cooking. Remove skin with a paring knife and cut peaches into 1/2-inch-thick wedges, discarding pits.
  • Melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then stir in brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Add peaches and simmer, stirring and turning peaches over occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool until warm and serve over scoops of ice cream.

CANE SYRUP PECAN ICE CREAM



Cane Syrup Pecan Ice Cream image

It's really worth seeking out the cane syrup for this recipe - it makes for a much more complex-flavored ice cream. Look for cane syrup that is labeled "100 percent pure;" some brands are cut with corn syrup. Cane syrup is available at some southern supermarkets and by mail order for Steen's (800-725-1654). This recipe is an accompaniment for [Peaches "Foster" with Cane Syrup Pecan Ice Cream](/recipes/recipe_views/views/109763). Active time: 20 min Start to finish: 5 hr (includes freezing)

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup cane syrup, or 1/4 cup dark corn syrup mixed with 3/4 cup mild molasses(not robust or blackstrap)
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
3/4 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cup pecans (5 1/2 oz), coarsely chopped, toasted, and cooled
an instant-read thermometer; an ice cream maker

Steps:

  • Whisk together cane syrup, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl, then add eggs, whisking until combined. Bring milk and cream just to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, then add egg mixture in a stream, whisking constantly. Transfer custard to saucepan.
  • Cook custard over moderately low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until thick enough to coat back of spoon and registers 170°F on thermometer, 5 to 8 minutes (custard may look slightly curdled; do not let boil).
  • Immediately pour custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, then stir in vanilla and cool, stirring occasionally. Chill custard, its surface covered with wax paper, until cold, at least 3 hours.
  • Freeze half of custard in ice cream maker until almost firm, then stir together ice cream and half of pecans in a large bowl. Transfer to an airtight container and put in freezer to harden. Repeat with remaining custard and pecans.
