You won't be able to get enough of these sugary, sweet peaches so go ahead and make a big batch. Rosé, sugar, vanilla bean, and anise are blended together and then poured over ripe peaches. You can also use other stone fruits like nectarines or apricots. Once you've let them soak up the delicious flavors, you can serve them over vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Have extra syrup? Shake it up with vodka or rum for an easy, restaurant-worthy cocktail.

Ingredients

  • 8 firm ripe peaches, apricots, or nec- tarines (about 3½ lb.), halved and pitted

  • 1 (750-ml) bottle dry rosé

  • 1 cup sugar

  • 1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise

  • 3 whole star anise (optional)

  • Vanilla ice cream, for serving 

Directions

  1. Arrange peaches in a 13- by-9-inch baking dish. Combine rosé and sugar in a medium pot. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and add seeds, bean, and star anise to pot. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour rosé syrup over fruit and let macerate, uncovered, at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.

  2. Serve peaches with ice cream, with rosé syrup spooned over top.
