Sweet peaches with a hint of rum add a ray of summer sunshine to the table when peaches from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia and the Lake Erie shore and Niagara Peninsula in Ontario are a distant memory. Serve as an adult-only dessert over ice cream or waffles. For a cinnamon twist, add a stick to the syrup.
