Roasted Glazed Peaches
- 8 small to medium (2 pounds) fresh ripe peaches
- 1/3 cup white wine
- 1/2 cup sweet Muscat wine
- 1/4 cup honey
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- Stainless-steel roasting pan big enough to hold 16 peach halves in one layer
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Prepare the peaches:
- Slice the peaches in half through the stem and around the pit.
- Hold each peach gently in your palms and slowly rotate both halves in opposite directions.
- One half should slide off the pit and one half should still hold the pit.
- Lay the peach halves down (with the pits still in place), cut side up, in your roasting pan.
- Pour all the remaining ingredients, except 2 tablespoons of the sugar, over the peaches.
- Roast and glaze the peaches:
- Roast the peaches for 30 minutes.
- Take them out of the oven and gently, with the tip of a paring knife, remove the pits from the 8 halves.
- If the pits seem well rooted in the peach flesh, you can try to pull them out later in the cooking process.
- Flip the peaches over and continue to roast for another 30 minutes.
- Remove the peaches from the oven again and flip them over.
- Remove any remaining pits.
- Once all of the peaches are without pits, ladle some of the cooking liquid over the peaches.
- Raise the oven temperature to 400F.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the peaches and bake for 20 minutes.
- Baste and continue to bake until the peaches are reduced in size, shiny, and are deep orange with some areas of caramelization, 20 minutes.
- If they are not done, baste and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes.
- When they are done, baste the peaches one last time.
- Remove from the oven and allow the peaches to cool in the roasting pan.
- Serving Suggestions:
- Place 2 peaches on each plate and drizzle the cooking syrup over the peaches.
- Serve with whipped cream or the Sauternes Sabayon.
- The Hazelnut Cake is delicious with the peaches and their cooking juices.
- For a crunchy note, try the Hazelnut Streusel Topping.
