Peaches in ginger syrup

Peaches in ginger syrup is a delightful dessert that combines the sweetness of ripe peaches with the zesty warmth of ginger. This simple yet elegant recipe is perfect for a light summer treat or a sophisticated dinner party dessert. With a balance of sweet and spicy flavors, these peaches are sure to impress your guests.

Ingredients:

3/4 tbsp ginger root
4.50g
6 fl oz white wine
180g
2 tbsp lemon juice
30g
8 peaches
1040g
3/4 cup water
180g
3/4 cup sugar
150g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Start by finely grating the ginger root.
- Peel the peaches. To make this easier, you can blanch them first: drop them into boiling water for about 30 seconds, then immediately transfer them to an ice bath. The skins should slip off easily.
- Cut the peeled peaches in half and remove the pits.
2. Make the Ginger Syrup:
- In a large saucepan, combine the white wine, water, sugar, and grated ginger. Stir well to ensure the sugar is dissolved.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.
3. Cook the Peaches:
- Carefully add the peach halves to the saucepan with the syrup.
- Let the peaches simmer in the syrup for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are tender but still hold their shape. Turn them gently halfway through cooking to ensure they are evenly coated with the syrup.
4. Add Lemon Juice:
- Stir in the lemon juice during the last few minutes of cooking. This will add a bright, fresh flavor and prevent the syrup from becoming overly sweet.
5. Cool and Serve:
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup.
- Once cooled, transfer the peaches and syrup to a serving dish or individual bowls.
- You can serve the peaches warm or chilled, depending on your preference. For a chilled version, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.
6. Optional Garnishes:
- For an extra touch, you can garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

- Selecting Peaches: Choose ripe but firm peaches for this recipe. They will hold their shape better when cooked in the syrup.

- Peeling Peaches: To easily peel peaches, briefly blanch them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then transfer to an ice bath. The skins will slip off easily.

- Ginger Root Preparation: Grate the ginger root finely to ensure that its flavor is evenly distributed throughout the syrup.

- Storing: You can store the peaches in ginger syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They make a great topping for yogurt or oatmeal.

- Enhancements: For an added twist, try adding a cinnamon stick or a few cloves to the syrup while it cooks. This will give the syrup an extra layer of flavor.

- Serving Suggestions: Serve the peaches warm or cold, depending on your preference. They pair wonderfully with ice cream, yogurt, or even as a topping for pancakes or waffles.

Peaches in ginger syrup is a versatile and easy-to-make dessert that captures the essence of summer. The harmony of sweet peaches and spicy-sweet ginger syrup creates a unique flavor that will leave a lasting impression on your taste buds. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
