Champagne Soaked Peach Sauce
 
Ingredients
  • 2 c. Champagne (I used a Spumante)
  • 1½ c. Light Brown Sugar
  • ½ t. Cinnamon
  • ½ t. Nutmeg
  • ¼ t. Ground Ginger
  • 3 t. Cornstarch, divided
  • Zest of one Large Orange, finely chopped
  • 4 c. Sliced Peaches
Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, bring the champagne, brown sugar, spices and 1 t. cornstarch to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 15 minutes. Add orange zest and let cool completely.
  2. Place peaches in a shallow dish and pour the sauce over the peaches. Refrigerate overnight. Remove the peaches the next day and place in a bowl. Pour the sauce in a small saucepan again, whisk in 2 t. cornstarch and bring to a boil over medium-high. Reduce heat and simmer for 25 minutes. Cool completely. Sauce will thicken as it cools (mine was VERY thick after being in my refrigerator overnight).
  3. Serve sauce over ice cream with reserved peaches.
Notes
Serves 12-15.
