Fresh Peach Sauce over Ice Cream ( better title OMG!MMM!)

The golden delicous drippy sweetness of a ripe peach. Nothing quite like it when fall starts to set in and the local peaches can be bought by the box, guaranteed to be ripe. I can’t buy them in grocery stores, they have no flavor. So this time of year I load up, make jam, sauce, and can as much as I have time for.

My favorite things to make is a simple hot peach sauce served over vanilla ice cream.

Start with about 1 peach per person. I did 4 peaches, a bit much when 2 of those are kids, but we managed.

I peel and slice, I like to make smaller bites, about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.  I slice them right into the sauce pan.

Thats all there is!

In a measuring cup mix 1/2 cup sugar and one heaping teaspoon corn starch. Mix into peaches and heat on medium heat until juicy. Add good sprinkle of cinnamon and a pinch of ground clove.
