Hy-Vee Recipes and Ideas

Directions

1. Step1
   Score the bottom of each peach with a paring knife, making an X on the bottom of each (this will help with peeling later). Combine wine, water, sugar, vanilla and mint sprig in a large saucepan. Bring mixture to boiling. Add peaches. Return mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Gently simmer for 5 to 10 minutes or until skins are softened. Remove peaches from syrup and cool slightly.
2. Step2
   Return the peach cooking liquid to high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the mixture to 1 cup, about 15 minutes. Remove syrup from heat. Discard mint and set syrup aside.
3. Step3
   Peel the peaches and halve each peach, removing the seed. Cut each half into 4 slices. Place in a shallow bowl. Pour 1/2 cup of the reserved liquid over peaches and refrigerate until well chilled.
4. Step4
   Combine raspberries, 1/3 cup of the syrup, powdered sugar and lemon juice in a food processor. Cover and process until well pureed. Strain the raspberry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve. Chill until serving time.
5. Step5
   To assemble parfaits, alternate layers of peach slices, raspberry sauce and vanilla ice cream. If desired, garnish with fresh raspberries and mint sprig. Serve immediately.
