Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 Fresh figs, minced
• 0.5 Cups pine nuts, toasted
• 4 Whole peaches, halved
• 0.25 Cups white sugar
• 1 Cup white wine
• 0.5 Cup brandy

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
2. In a food processor, pulse the minced figs and toasted pine nuts until they form a coarse mixture. If your figs are very ripe, consider chopping them by hand to avoid turning them into mush.
3. Arrange the peach halves on the prepared baking sheet, cut side up. Sprinkle each half evenly with white sugar to enhance their natural sweetness.
4. Pour the white wine over the peaches, allowing it to pool slightly in the cavities. This will help to infuse the peaches with a subtle wine flavor as they bake.
5. Generously stuff each peach half with the fig and pine nut mixture, pressing it gently into the cavity.
6. Drizzle the brandy over the stuffed peaches, ensuring each one gets a good splash for that rich, aromatic finish.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the tops are lightly browned.
8. Serve warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. Enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this simple yet sophisticated dessert.
