Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 quart apple juice
2 cups water
2 cinnamon sticks
6 whole allspice berries
12 whole cardamom seeds
6 firm ripe peaches
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups unsweetened raspberries (fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • To prepare peaches, bring juice, water and spices to a boil. (Make sure your pot is narrow enough so that the liquid will cover the peaches).
  • Drop peaches in liquid and poach for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the peaches, cover with cold water and slip off the skins.
  • Cut each peach in half and remove the stone.
  • Place the peaches in a glass or porcelain bowl. (The poaching liquid can be saved and re-used).
  • For the sauce, mix the water and sugar in a saucepan, heat to a low boil and simmer until liquid has reduced by 1/2.
  • In a blender, puree 1 cup of raspberres and 1/4 cup sugar syrup.(You can store the remaining syrup in a glass jar in the refrigerator.).
  • Stir the remaining berries into the puree.
  • Serve the peach halves, round side up, in a pool of raspberry sauce and garnish with whipped cream on the side, if you like.
