4 ripe peaches
1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
2 cups (500 mL) vanilla ice cream
Fresh raspberries for garnish (optional)
Raspberry Sauce:
1/2 cup (125 mL) fresh or frozen raspberries, thawed
4 tsp (20 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) lime juice
Preparation:
With knife, score X in base of each peach. Plunge into boiling water for 30 seconds. Transfer to ice water. Drain and peel.
In saucepan, bring 2 cups (500 mL) water and sugar to boil; boil for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Immerse peaches in liquid; poach for 8 minutes, turning halfway through. With slotted spoon, remove to rack; let cool.
Raspberry Sauce: In blender, purée raspberries with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water until smooth. Strain through fine sieve into bowl, pressing with spoon. Stir in sugar and lime juice. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate sauce and peaches with syrup in separate airtight containers for up to 2 days.)
Halve and pit peaches. Scoop 1/2 cup (125 mL) ice cream into each of 4 serving bowls. Top each with 2 peach halves; drizzle with raspberry sauce. Garnish with raspberries (if using).
