Roasting whole peaches yields tender fruit with concentrated flavour. Serve with ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Ingredients
- 8 peaches or nectarines, (about 2 lb/1 kg)
- 3 tbsp butter, softened
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- Caramel Sauce:
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp peach schnapps or brandy, (optional)
Preparation
Caramel Sauce: In small saucepan, heat orange juice over medium heat until steaming; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in heavy saucepan, stir sugar with 1/4 cup (50 mL) water over medium heat until dissolved, brushing down side of pan with pastry brush dipped in cold water. Bring to boil; boil vigorously, without stirring but brushing down side of pan, until amber, about 6 minutes.
Holding pan at arm's length and averting face, add warm orange juice; stir until smooth. Return pan to heat and simmer until reduced to 2/3 cup (150 mL), about 5 minutes. Stir in peach schnapps (if using). Pour into measuring cup; let cool. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 1 week; rewarm to liquefy.)
Brush peaches all over with butter; roll in sugar to coat. Place in 8-inch (2 L) square glass baking dish; pour caramel sauce over top. Bake in 300°F (150°C) oven, basting occasionally, until tender and skin begins to split, about 1 hour. Serve with sauce.
