Ingredients

4 peaches, halved, pitted, and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick wedges

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Pinch of ground cinnamon

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter

1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

2 tablespoons bourbon or dark rum (optional)

Vanilla ice cream (optional)

Preparation

In a medium bowl, toss together peaches, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.

Melt butter and sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. If using bourbon or rum, add to skillet, and cook until reduced, about 1 minute.

Serve immediately over ice cream, if desired.
