Spiced Peaches

Total Time Prep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 20 min.

Yield 6 servings

When peaches are plentiful in late summer, spiced peaches are a must-have dessert. They take just a few minutes of hands-on prep the night before, so they're a perfect dessert option during those "don't heat up my kitchen" days.

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup vinegar
8 to 10 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick
6 fresh peaches, peeled and halved
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons brown sugar

Directions

In a large saucepan, bring the first five ingredients to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes. Add peaches; simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes.
Pour into a shallow dish. Cover and chill 8 hours or overnight. Drain. Spoon peaches into serving dishes; garnish with a dollop of sour cream and sprinkle with brown sugar.
