Boozy Peach Caramel Pouring Sauce

Boozy Peach Caramel Pouring Sauce
served over roasted marshmallows (browned under a broiler)
with graham crackers for dipping.

We were lucky to be the recipients of lovely organic peaches from Misfit Gardening last summer. One of the things we did with them was make our own peach liqueur by leaving the peaches in vodka to infuse. Impatient to give it a try, we drained and strained over the weekend. Alas, the liqueur still needs some tweaking, but it left us with a whole pile of boozy peaches. It seemed wrong to toss them and thus Boozy Peach Caramel Pouring Sauce was created.

Ingredients

1 stick butter
1 box + 2 cups brown sugar 
8 c boozy peaches (or regular ripe peaches)
1 t. Kosher salt
1/2 c half and half

Directions

1. Rough chop peaches
2. Melt butter over medium heat
3. Add peaches and brown sugar and bring to simmer
4. Add 1 t salt
5. Add half and half
6. Cook until lovely brown 
7. Put in glass jars, allow to cool to room temperature, and store in refrigerator. (If it cools too quickly, the butter will separate. If this happens, just microwave before serving.)

Notes: This isn't a traditional caramel, so I didn't worry about temperatures. It is thinner than traditional caramel sauce.
