Peaches Roasted in Amaretto

serves 4

recipe slightly adapted from The Buvette Cookbook

• 4 peaches, halved with pits discarded
• 1/4 cup amaretto
• 1/2 cup sugar
• crème fraîche, for serving
• 3-4 crumbled ginger snap cookies, for serving
• 8-10 fresh raspberries, for serving

Preheat the broiler to high. Place peach halves in a skillet that will hold them in a single layer. Pour the amaretto over the peaches and sprinkle with sugar. Place the skillet on the stove over high heat to burn off the amaretto, about 3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the amaretto sugar mixture. Transfer the pan to the broiler and broil until the peaches are browned and the liquid has reduced to a honey-like consistency, about 5-10 minutes. Serve peaches warm with a dollop of creme fraiche, a sprinkle of ginger snap cookie crumbles, fresh raspberries and a drizzle of amaretto syrup.
