Preparation
- Step 1
Cut orange and lemon half into thin slices and remove the pits.
- Step 2
Place the peaches in a single layer in a casserole. Add the water, wine, sugar and vanilla pod and cover with the orange and lemon slices. The liquid should barely cover the fruit.
- Step 3
Cut a round of wax paper the same size as the casserole and make a small hole in the middle. Bring the fruit to a boil, then skim any foam that rises to the surface.
- Step 4
Lower the heat so one single bubble breaks at the top, then place the wax paper over the top and simmer for approximately 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the peaches cool in the syrup.
- Step 5
Remove the peaches from the syrup with a slotted spoon. Slip off their skins. Place the peaches in a glass bowl and top with the orange and lemon slices. Strain the syrup over the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours.

I will try again, as the peaches I used were not ripe enough. Still, I don’t think I poached fruit long enough or perhaps not at enough of a simmer. The syrup is divine.
I also left out the orange, and I also took the peaches out and reduced the syrup by about half. Really delicious. I think it would have been nice as written but I didn’t have any oranges (it’s peach season!) and there was too much syrup to fit in my pan!
I had very fresh peaches from a farmer in New Hampshire, so i did not want to lose the peach taste to the orange, and omitted it. The only other change I made was to peel, pit and slice the peaches into glass bowls, then I strained and reduced the liquid by half, then filled the bowls with the liquid. They are delicious.
