Roasted Peaches with Brown Sugar and Cream image

When fresh peaches are in season and ripe, this is a wonderful way to serve them.

Yield makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 ripe peaches, halved and pitted
8 teaspoons butter (1 stick), plus butter for the dishes
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons dark rum, optional
Heavy cream

Steps:

  • Position the oven racks so that one of the racks is in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to convection roast at 500°F. Butter four individual ovenproof baking dishes.
  • Place two peach halves into each baking dish, cut side up. Place 1 teaspoon butter in the cavity of each peach half. Then spoon 1 tablespoon brown sugar in each.
  • Bake in the center of the oven for 10 minutes, until the edges of the peaches begin to brown and the sugar and butter are bubbly. Remove from the oven.
  • If desired, pour about 1 tablespoon dark rum over each serving and ignite carefully. Serve with heavy cream.
