Honey-Lime Peaches With Crème Fraîche Clouds
- 2/3 cup light-colored honey, such as orange blossom honey
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- Grated zest of 1 lime
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 3 peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced
- 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup creme fraiche
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
- 6 Kadota or other green figs, quartered
- Additional lime zest, or slivered mint leaves, for garnish
- Combine the honey, orange zest, lime zest, lime juice, cinnamon stick, and 2 tablespoons water in a medium saucepot; bring to a boil and simmer until syrupy, about 5 minutes. Let cool. Strain over the sliced peaches in a bowl. Add the vanilla bean, cover, and marinate for several hours in the refrigerator.
- Just before serving, whip the cream to soft peaks, and then fold into the creme fraiche, dusting with confectioners' sugar to taste.
- Arrange the marinated peach slices and figs in shallow bowls and add enough syrup to barely cover. Top each serving with a cloud of whipped creme fraiche. Garnish with more lime zest or mint leaves.
