Peach Sundaes With Bourbon Pecan Sauce Recipes

BOURBON-MAPLE-PECAN SUNDAE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until it foams. Add the pecans and toss to coat evenly; toast for about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and swirl until it melts; toss to coat the nuts. Add the bourbon and maple syrup and remove from the heat. Swirl the sauce to mix, and then allow to cool slightly in the pan. Pour the sauce over scoops of ice cream to serve as a sundae. Season with a little pinch of salt. Serve immediately.

ROASTED PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay the peaches out on the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar. Roast until lightly caramelized and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• In a small saucepot, melt the butter over low heat. Add the honey, cinnamon, lemon juice, remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt. Add the peaches. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid is slightly reduced, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

GRILLED-PEACH SUNDAES WITH SALTED BOURBON-CARAMEL SAUCE

Steps:

• Prepare the peaches: Heat a charcoal grill while you bring a saucepan of water to simmer. Score the bottom of each peach with an X, then blanch for about 45 seconds, until skin near the X looks loose. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon and cool in a bowl of ice water. Peel the peaches. Then, with a paring knife, start at the stem of the peach and make a single cut around to the tip. Rotate hands in opposite directions, twist and free flesh from pit.
• Lay the peach halves cut side up and brush lightly with peanut oil; sprinkle with salt. Place the peaches cut side down on grill (you can also use a stovetop grill pan set over medium heat) and cook until there are grill marks, about 2 minutes. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Flip and grill the other side.
• Make the pecans: Toss the first four ingredients in a bowl; spread on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until nicely toasted. Remove and toss with the sugar.
• Make the caramel: Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Gently swirl the mixture in a circular motion (do not stir) and allow it to boil down until it is a deepamber caramel, at least 10 minutes. Carefully whisk in the cream, protecting your hand from the steam. Immediately whisk in the butter and continue to stir over low heat until mixture is smooth. Stir in salt and bourbon and whisk again. Remove from heat and allow to cool before using.
• Make the whipped cream: Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. Drizzle in the buttermilk and whip until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble: Place 2 peach halves in a bowl; scoop ice cream into each pit and add a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle salted bourbon-caramel sauce over the whole shebang.

FRESH PEACH SUNDAE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a 2-quart saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, nutmeg and cinnamon. Mix in the water and juice. Bring this to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for one minute.
• Stir in the peaches and continue simmering for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until peaches soften slightly. Remove from heat. Because the peaches will continue to cook in the hot syrup, you don't want to overcook them while pan is on the heat.
• Serve warm or cold over ice cream.
