This is another recipe that just excites me! It is amazingly delicious, easy to prepare, a portable desert for a party, and a great gift. The longer you leave the peaches soaking the better they taste, but 1 hour is also good. You can use them to top ice cream, angel food cake, or just served with whipped topping or all of the above, of course. I also used less sugar than the recipe called for since there is sugar in the wine, which was perfect, so adjust according to your taste. Enjoy!
1 bottle of white wine (about 5 cups)
2 orange peels
4 peaches, peeled(if desired), pitted,
and sliced into eighths
1/2 C. sugar
1 vanilla bean, split
Place peaches in a large mason jar. In a medium saucepan, add wine, sugar and orange peel and vanilla bean, and allow to reduce until 4 cups. once reduced, pour mixture over peaches in mason jar and close mason jar, allowing peaches to soak until tender, about 1 hour.
