Peaches & Ice Cream with Basil Syrup 09/16/2011
This recipe is varied from one I got at Central Market. It is a nice use of local peaches and the last of the summer basil in the yard. Unique flavor and great with Italian food. Total Time 40 mintues. Hands on time 10 minutes. Ingredients 1/2 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup sugar 16 leaves of basil 4 medium peaches, peeled and sliced Pint vanilla ice cream. Directions In a small saucepan, heat wine and sugar over medium heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Add basil and remove from heat. Steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain syrup, pressing basil on screen to release as much flavor as possible. Scoop small serving of vanilla ice cream into bowl, top with peach slices, and sprinkle with tablespoon of syrup. Save extra syrup for other use. Note: In the future I might add some fresh berries to the mix. Add Comment | AuthorThis is the recipe blog of Jamie Clausen. ArchivesCategoriesAll |
