Celestial Peach Sundae

"My daughter, while devouring this, repeated a phrase she once heard in a talk "Surely the food of the Gods". It is divine. The walnuts remind me of those expensive jarred walnuts in syrup you get at the grocery store. Consider adding in some fresh raspberries too. The original recipe called for 1 C walnuts, we like more. You can add 1 t vanilla if you like to the syrup. Refrigerate extra nuts for another day. You can garnish with some chopped candied ginger if you like."

Tagged for PAC. This was easy, no need for a candy thermometer, with good directions. This was good, although I felt the sauce didn't have quite enough flavor. It got lost in the peaches. :) Maybe pecans would help, or toasting the nuts. I didn't use the ginger though, didn't have that. Have sauce left over (made it for just me) so I will play with it a bit.
