directions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Lightly butter a baking sheet.
  • Place peach halves cut side down, on prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle the peaches with 1/2 cup sugar and bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Place the baked peaches in a food processor or blender, along with any drippings from the pan.
  • Puree until smooth, stopping 2 to 3 times to scrape down the sides.
  • Transfer to a large nonreactive bowl and set aside.
  • In a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the peach nectar, remaining sugar and star anise over medium heat.
  • Use the tip of blunt knife to scrape the vanilla bean seeds into mixture.
  • Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.
  • Let the syrup infuse for about 1 hour; then strain through a fine sieve into a nonreactive bowl and add the citrus juices.
  • Slowly add the peach syrup to the peach puree until the desired flavor is achieved.
  • If the soup is flavored to your liking but too thick, add a little plain peach juice to thin.
  • Cover and refrigerate until completely cold.
  • To serve, ladle into chilled soup cups and garnish with sliced strawberries and mint.

  1. This was very flavorful but overly sweet. In the future, I would not use the nectar and cut down on the sugar. The spicing was lovely.

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called. Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com. Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net. Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
