Ingredients
- 3 cups red wine
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 whole cloves
- 2 to 3 whole peppercorns
- 1 or 2 strips lemon rind
- 2 large peaches, halved and pitted
- 1 pint vanilla bean ice cream
- Whipped cream, in canister
- Freshly grated nutmeg, to garnish
Instructions
- Combine the wine, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, peppercorns, and lemon rind in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stir to dissolve the sugar, and reduce heat to a bubble.
- Bring the poaching liquid to a boil and cook on high heat until reduced to a syrupy texture. Add the peaches and poach the fruit, spooning the syrup over them occasionally, until you can pierce the peach easily with a knife, about 5 minutes.
- Put the peach halves in 2 dessert bowls. Top with ice cream, whipped cream, and drizzle with the poaching syrup. Grate a little nutmeg over the top.

Great recipe!! Works great with pears too when peaches are out of season. Save money on the spices by purchasing the cinnamon sticks, cloves and peppercorns from the Hispanic Food aisle at your local grocery store. Much cheaper and equal quality than the spices found on the traditional spice aisle.
SO yummy! I just wanted to bottle the poaching syrup up and pour it on ice cream anytime. The only problem is that the syrup and peaches will be hot, and your ice cream will melt quickly. Don’t worry, you’ll finish it before it all melts 😉
As a general rule I can’t stand red wine and the peaches I bought (obviously not in season) were pretty tasteless BEFORE poaching…so much so I almost didn’t make the recipe. That said, this turned out WONDERFUL. The syrup is absolutely yummy and the peaches were so flavorful I found it hard to believe they were the same ones…imagine how good GOOD peaches would have been. Easy-peasy recipe…definitely give it a try.
I made this dessert dish as a dinner for my boyfriend and he was so impressed and loved it. I normally don’t like peaches too much but this dish was delish! He was so impressed with the other recipes I used from Rachel, Pork chops pizziaola and brown rice. I served it in a martini glass and skipped the whipped cream. It was perfect with regular vanilla ice cream…
This dessert is SO good! I have made this three times already and sent it to every family member I have! I just found out I am lactose intolerant but that won?t keep me from eating this! IT’S THAT GOOD!
The crowd went crazy for this one. I didn’t use whipped cream, instead I toasted some almonds and put them on top (might try hazelnuts next time). Fantastic recipe. All of the remaining ice cream in the freezer was devoured by guests who wanted to enjoy the syrup more.
This was an amazing recipe! It is so refreshing to have a non-gluten type dessert. I served this to my family and they all adored it. I chose a California red wine that was a little on the fruity side and it complimented the peaches quite well. The ice cream was also very delicious when it melted in to the wine syrup. The kitchen smelled so good as I was preparing the syrup. Next time, we are going to try this recipe with pears or apples to experiment a little. All in all, it’s a family favorite and very addictive!!!
My boyfriend and I watched this episode together and right after the show was over we both looked at eachother and knew what the other was thinking…we had to try it!! We went to the store right then and there and tried to remember all the ingredients…needless to say we didn’t remember everything from all three of her recipes that day but everything still turned out wonderful!! Even his 5 year old loved it!!
This looked and sounded good, but it was even better then I thought it would be. I made my own homemade fat free ice cream and used a fat free whipped cream. It was soooo flavorful!
I loved this dessert. I actually crave it and cannot wait for fresh peaches to be in season.
