Answer 1

Time/Servings
Total Time: 20 mins

Active Time: 7 mins

Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
5 cups water
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 peaches (about 1 pound)
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, reserving the seeds and pod
4 (1-by-3-inch) strips lemon zest
Instructions
Combine the water, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and pod in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
Peel the peaches.. Slice off the bottom 1/8 inch of each peach to create a flat, stable base.
Reduce heat to keep poaching liquid at a bare simmer and add the peaches, laying them on their sides so they are almost completely submerged. Cook, turning peaches occasionally so they become saturated on all sides, until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 7 minutes.
Allow peaches to cool completely in their poaching liquid. Serve immediately, placed upright on the plate, or transfer peaches and liquid to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 1/4 pounds firm ripe peaches (unpeeled), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices preparation
Bring first 5 ingredients to simmer in heavy medium saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean into syrup. Return bean to syrup. Cover and continue simmering 5 minutes. Add peaches and poach until just tender when pierced with tip of sharp knife, about 4 minutes. Transfer mixture to bowl and refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours. (Can be prepared 3 days ahead.)
Remove vanilla bean and any loose pieces of peach skin before serving.

Peach Melba

To poach peaches in vanilla syrup: wash them, peel them, poach them whole about 20 minutes at the lowest heat, leave them off the stove to cool about an hour ... then peel them, cut them in half, and remove the pits. being careful not to destroy the shape in any way

Put one half in a pretty dessert coupe round side up, put in the coupe a small scoop of vanilla ice cream and pour over raspberry syrup or sauce ~ usually you can find it in the supermarket or you can find a very nice recipe for fresh raspberry sauce on Wolfgang Puck's website ...
