Marsala Roasted Peaches with Ice Cream

The test kitchen was busy on a week night getting ready for the weekend!  This recipe is a new riff on one of my favorite desserts, but instead of raspberries and balsamic vinegar I’m using the same principle with fresh ripe peaches and a marsala wine syrup.  It’s really quite the delicious flavor bomb.  This recipe is a serving for 2, so make proportional adjustments for more servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe Peach, peeled and cut into slices
  • 1/4 Cup Marsala wine
  • 1/4 Cup sugar
  • Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt

Directions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 400°
  2. Spray a roasting pan with non-stick cooking spray, add peach slices and roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until hot.
  3. Add marsala wine and sugar to to a saucepan and heat over medium high heat until sugar is dissolved.
  4. Continue cooking until reduced by half.  The syrup will begin to boil, so when it does, cut the heat back so you can adequately judge the reduction.  This will take about 10 minutes, but watch it.  It really depends on your stove!
  5. Add scoops of ice cream or frozen yogurt to a bowl.  When the peaches are adequately heated, remove from the oven spoon several slices over the ice cream and then drizzle with the marsala syrup.
  6. Serve with a port wine or an espresso!
