Peach Escabeche
Ingredients
- 7 peaches, peeled and pitted, or 8 plums, pitted
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 (2-inch) sticks canela
- 2 pods star anise
- 2 teaspoons finely diced seeded Guajillo chile
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Instructions
- Cut peaches or plums into wedges about 1/2 inch thick. In a small non-reactive
saucepan, combine all ingredients except for peaches. Bring to a simmer over moderate
heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until brine is well infused. Add half of the
fruit to the simmering brine and cook for 2 minutes until the fruit softens slightly.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove peach or plum wedges to a bowl and repeat the process
with remaining fruit. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.
- To serve, drain fruit. If desired, leave the star anise and canela sticks for
an inedible garnish. Reserve brine for the next batch, if desired.
