Peach Glaze Parfait with Warm Whiskey Sauce

Step 1

For the peach glaze, mix cornstarch and sugar together and add water. Simmer until mixture is thick and clear.

Step 2

Remove from heat and add lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and let cool, then slice the peaches and add to the mixture. Set aside.

Step 3

For the warm whiskey sauce combine 2 3/4 cups of cream with the bourbon and sugar in a medium-size nonstick saucepan over medium heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar and remove from heat.

Step 4

In a small bowl, dissolve 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp cornstarch in the remaining 1/4 cup cream.

Step 5

Add this to the bourbon-cream mixture and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture thickens - about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve warm over the bread pudding or fruitcake.

Step 6

For whipped topping, whip the cream and sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 7

Layer alternating layers in parfait glasses with the peach mixture, whiskey sauce, and the sweetened fresh whipped cream, or use the whipped cream as the topping and garnish with a slice of peach.
