SAUTÉED PEACHES IN PEACH SCHNAPPS

Makes 2 servings

2 tablespoons butter
2 fresh or frozen peaches, sliced
1/4 cup peach Schnapps
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Whipped cream
2 sprigs mint (optional garnish)
Ice cream (optional)

Melt the butter in a small or medium sauté pan over medium-low heat. Sauté the peach slices in the melted butter for about 1 minute, or until they begin to turn golden brown.
Turn off the heat and carefully add the schnapps, being aware that a flame will probably result. Turn the heat on again, cook the sauce for about 1 minute, and add the cream.  Remove from the heat.
Serve warm with whipped cream and a sprig of mint, or refrigerate for about 5 minutes until the sauce is the thickness of caramel, and serve over ice cream.
