Best Caramelized Peaches Or Nectarines Recipes

CARAMELIZED SKILLET PEACHES

Steps:

• Wash and dry peaches. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice peach halves into 1/2-inch/about 1.5 cm thick wedges. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach slices in a single layer, honey, and rosemary. Cook to caramelize, occasionally stirring, for about 7 to 9 minutes.
• Let buttery peaches cool down before eating so as not to burn your mouth. Then, serve warm peaches in a frying pan or on a plate, with their caramel sauce, aside with vanilla ice cream.

CARAMELIZED NECTARINE

Steps:

• Cut nectarine all the way around and twist open. Remove pit. Sprinkle sugar on the cut side of each nectarine half.
• Place nectarine, cut-side down, onto a griddle or in a skillet over medium heat; cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer nectarines to a plate, cut-side up, and top each with plain yogurt.

CARAMELIZED PEACHES

Steps:

• Combine sugar, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl; add peaches, and toss to coat well. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peaches, cut sides down, and sprinkle with remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture from bowl. Cook, turning peaches after 5 minutes, until sugar caramelizes and peaches are tender, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Add brandy; cook until reduced, about 1 minute. Add butter and cream; swirl to melt butter and combine. Cook until thick, about 1 minute.

CARAMELIZED PEACHES OR NECTARINES

Steps:

• Set a strainer over a bowl and cut the nectarines into the strainer, so their juice collects in the bowl.
• Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• When it is hot but not smoking, add the nectarines and sauté them until they sizzle and their juices reduce and begin to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle the sugar over them and sauté until the juices further thicken and the sugar caramelizes slightly, about 1 minute. You may want to increase the heat under the pan to medium-high.
• Add the lemon juice and sauté until the juices thicken, then add any nectarine juice that collected in the bowl, and shake the pan so that all is well blended.
• Let the nectarines cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the juices are very thick, which will take a minute or so. The total cooking time will be about 6 minutes.
• Transfer the nectarines to 4 warmed dessert plates, or to a warmed serving dish, let sit for about 4 minutes so they are not blistering hot when served.

CARAMELIZED SKILLET PEACHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together peaches, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Melt butter and sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. If using bourbon or rum, add to skillet, and cook until reduced, about 1 minute.
• Serve immediately over ice cream, if desired.

CARAMELIZED PEACHES

Steps:

• Drain peaches, pouring syrup into a skillet. Place skillet over high heat. Cook until syrup is caramelized (thick and light golden brown), about 10 minutes, stirring gently toward end of cooking so caramel does not burn around edges.
• Add peaches to caramel. Stir in cream. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Boil 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl, and allow to cool.
• Stir in Cognac and lemon juice. If mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.
• To serve, toast brioche slices, and place one on each of four dessert plates. Arrange 2 peach halves on top of each slice, and top with a spoonful or two of sauce. Sprinkle with pistachios, and serve.
