Grappa Peaches with Basil and Creme Fraiche

Serves 6

Borrowed from Eric Ripert (Le Bernardin). An amazing, simple, summer dessert. 


  • 6 peaches, cut into wedges, with the fat part of the wedge about 1/3"
  • 3 T sugar
  • 3 T grappa
  • 10 large basil leaves julienned to a 1 mm width, max
  • Creme fraiche
Marinate peaches and basil with sugar and grappa for up to 4 hours, and as little as 20 minutes (more time doesn't really add that much, so it's whatever's most convenient for you). Serve with 1 T. dollop of creme fraiche each.
