INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 ripe peach, white or yellow, stone removed
• 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar

METHOD

Pat the cut side of the peach dry with a paper towel and place on a rimmed baking sheet (line with foil for easy clean up).  Sprinkle the cut side of the peach with the sugar.  Using a torch, caramelize the sugar until it forms a golden crust.  Serve immediately. Alternatively, heat the broiler.  Assemble the peaches as above and broil until the sugar crust forms -- about 3 minutes. NOTE To make vanilla sugar, place a vanilla bean in a jar of sugar, and let sit at least overnight.  This is a great thing to do once you've scraped the seeds from the bean for another recipe (like White Peach Vanilla Tarte Tatin).
