Ingredients

3 cups peeled sliced peaches (4 large peaches or 1½ pounds)
¼ cup granulated sugar (50g) or up to ⅓ cup as desired
¼ cup of water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
pinch of ground cinnamon plus extra for garnish
pinch of salt
½ tablespoon unsalted butter
juice of ½ lemon
a few drops vanilla or almond extract
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream

Instructions

Peel and slice the peaches into thick wedges. Place in a medium mixing bowl and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Toss gently and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour stirring once or twice.
Drain the peach juice into a medium saucepan. Set the peaches aside. Add ¼ cup water, cornstarch, cinnamon and salt to the juice. Cook over medium heat whisking constantly until the syrup boils. Simmer for 2 or 3 minutes or until thickened.
Remove from the heat and add the butter, lemon juice and vanilla. Gently fold in the peaches and any accumulated juice.
Lightly whisk the whipping cream just until slightly thickened.
Spoon half the peaches into 4 individual serving glasses or bowls. Pour half the cream over the peaches then repeat with the remaining peaches and then the last of the cream.
Sprinkle additional cinnamon on top and drizzle with any remaining peach juice.
Refrigerate until needed or serve immediately.
