Hello, my beautiful foodies! I hope you are staying well and baking up a storm now that fall is here.

One of my favorite fruits of all time is PEACHES!  Yes, I love peaches because you can create sweet and savory recipes with them. Anywhere from pies, to tarts, to salsa, and salads.

Today I will show you how to whip up a gourmet dessert in a matter of minutes. I don’t know how the idea of infusing ouzo and cream together came to mind, but because I am Greek I think ouzo is always in the back of my mind. HA!

Sauteed Peaches with an Ouzo Infused Whipped Cream Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 large peaches preferably ripened and halved
• 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons of honey
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of lemon juice

Method:

1. Peel and halve the peaches. Over medium heat, melt butter in a large pan.
2. Place the 4 peaches cut side down, and saute for a few minutes until each side is golden brown.
3. Add the brown sugar, salt, lemon juice, honey, and vanilla to the pan making sure to stir to combine.
4. Cook until the sauce has thickened and the peaches are tender. Remove from pan and reserve the sauce to serve.
5. Serve peaches on a plate topped with a dollop of the ouzo whipped cream and the caramel sauce. I like to add fresh blueberries or fruit to the dessert as well.
