How to make Peaches with Caramel Sauce
Method
Combine the sugar, salt and cinnamon into a large bowl; add the peaches, and toss to coat well. Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the peaches, cut sides down, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar-cinnamon mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, then turn the peaches and cook for a further 3 minutes until tender and caramelised.
Add the brandy; cook until reduced for about 1 minute. Add knobs of the butter and cream; swirl to melt the butter and combine. Cook for a further 2 minutes until thick and saucy.
