Peaches in Caramel Over Vanilla Ice Cream image

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large ripe peaches
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Cut an X in blossom end of peaches. In a saucepan of boiling water blanch peaches 15 seconds and with a slotted spoon transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Peel peaches and cut each into 8 wedges. In a small bowl toss peaches with lemon juice.
In an 8- to 9-inch heavy skillet cook sugar over moderately low heat, stirring slowly with a fork (to help sugar melt evenly), until melted and pale golden. Cook caramel, without stirring, swirling skillet, until deep golden, 5 to 6 minutes. Carefully add peaches and cream (mixture will vigorously steam and caramel will harden). Cook mixture, stirring frequently, until caramel is dissolved and peaches are tender, about 5 minutes.
Cool peaches to warm and serve over ice cream.
