BOURBON-GLAZED PEACH COFFEE CAKE WITH ALMOND CRUMBS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, brown sugar, almonds, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl and mix well. Add the butter and mix thoroughly with your fingers or a fork until all of the butter has been evenly distributed and incorporated into the flour. Form into small to medium clumps with your fingers.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter an 8-inch square cake pan.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl.
• Beat together the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour, beating until just incorporated.
• Spoon half the cake batter (it will be very thick) into the prepared pan and smooth with an offset spatula. Dollop the peach preserves on top and carefully smooth with the spatula. Spoon the remaining cake batter on top and smooth the top. Sprinkle on the crumb topping.
• Bake until the cake and topping are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Let cool in the pan 20 minutes, then invert onto a plate; invert again onto a rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, whisk the confectioners' sugar and bourbon together in a medium bowl until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let set.

FAITH'S BOURBON GLAZED PEACHES ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Set the outdoor gas grill on low heat. Chop and toast pecans in a toaster oven, watching carefully not to burn them. Set them aside.
• In a saucepan, add the bourbon, butter, brown sugar, lemon juice and water. Stir and let it boil softly on the stovetop for about a minute, until the sugar is dissolved and the alcohol has burned off. Turn the heat to simmer and let it softly bubble for about 5 minutes. Place the peach halves in a baking dish and pour the syrup over them, using a pastry brush to paint the glaze on evenly. Let them sit covered in the glaze at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Using tongs, place the peach halves on the grill, cut side down, and cook them for five minutes or until they caramelize but don't burn. Flip them over and cook the reverse side for five minutes, or until they soften and brown. Serve each person two halves on a scoop of ice cream and sprinkle on toasted pecans.

BOURBON-GLAZED PEACHES WITH MASCARPONE CREAM

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil. Sprinkle the peaches with the salt and place them cut-side down in the skillet. Cook until the peaches begin to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the peaches and cook on the other side for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle the cut sides with the brown sugar. Flip again and cook for another 5 minutes. Pour in the bourbon to deglaze the pan and toss and flip the peaches a few times.
• Whisk together the mascarpone, heavy cream, honey and vanilla until smooth.
• Divide the peaches among 4 plates and top each with a few dollops of the mascarpone cream. Add another drizzle of honey if you'd like more sweetness. Sprinkle with fresh mint and serve.

BOURBON PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Combine the peaches, bourbon, 1/4 cup sugar, the cornstarch and cinnamon in a large bowl and toss to coat.
• Sift the flour, the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, the baking powder and salt into a bowl. Cut 1 1/2 sticks of the butter into small pieces; add to the flour mixture and cut it in with a pastry blender or your hands until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Pour in the cream and mix just until the dough comes together. Don't overwork; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
• Melt the remaining 1/2 stick butter in a10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Add the peach mixture and cook gently until heated through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a 2-quart baking dish (or leave in the skillet). Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls over the warm peaches. (There can be gaps because the dough will puff up and spread as it bakes.) Brush the top with some heavy cream and sprinkle with sugar and a little extra cinnamon.
• Bake in the oven on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) until the cobbler is browned and the fruit is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm with the ice cream.
