Poached Peaches In Mint Syrup Recipe - Cooking Index
| 3 cups | 711ml | Water |
| 1 1/2 cups | 297g / 10oz | Sugar |
| 4 | Ripe peaches* - (1 1/4 lbs), peeled | |
| 18 | Mint leaves - torn | |
| 4 | Mint sprigs |
* When buying peaches, look for those with a yellow background color (although that ranges from a pale creamy color to a bright gold, depending on the variety), with no traces of green (a sign that the fruit was picked too early and will not ripen).
Combine the water and sugar in a deep 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the peaches. Simmer 5 minutes.
Remove the peaches from the syrup to a bowl. Stir the torn mint leaves into the syrup and simmer 1 minute. Pour the hot syrup over the peaches. Cool. Refrigerate several hours.
To serve, place each peach in a small bowl. Spoon syrup over and garnish with a mint sprig.
