Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
2 peaches, cut into wedges
1 pint butter pecan ice cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat sugar in a dry heavy medium skillet over medium heat, stirring with a fork to heat sugar evenly, until it starts to melt. Stop stirring and cook, swirling skillet occasionally so sugar melts evenly, until it is dark amber.

    Step 2

    Remove from heat and immediately add water (mixture will bubble up and steam), then cook over medium heat, stirring, until any solids are dissolved and mixture is smooth, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove from heat and add butter, swirling skillet until incorporated.

    Step 4

    Serve peaches and ice cream with warm caramel sauce.
