Sugar Roasted Peaches and Cornbread Sundae

• cornbread (Cakey Cornbread for Desserts)
• 6 slices bacon, preferable apple-smoked thick cut
• 34 cup pure maple syrup
• 14 cup honey
• 4 peaches (Sugar Roasted Peaches)
• vanilla gelato or vanilla ice cream
• fresh sage, minced for garnish
• aleppo chili pepper flakes, optional for garnish

1. To make the bacon syrup: Cook the bacon in a skillet, over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crisp, 5 to 8 minutes; drain on paper toweling and coarsely chop.
2. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon drippings and add the maple syrup and honey to the skillet; stir to combine and return bacon pieces to heat through, about 5 minutes (can be made up to 5 days in advance and warmed over low heat).
3. To serve: Cut cornbread into 2-inch cubes (you'll have left-overs) and warm in a 250F oven (if made previously) for 10 minutes.
4. Place a cube of cornbread on each of 8 plates and arrange peaches and gelato near the cornbread; top with bacon syrup, sage, and a pinch of aleppo pepper, if using.
