A simple and simply delicious desert topping. I used frozen peaches and served it over ginger ice cream. This is a must have recipe! You can transform even the simplest desert into a super special treat. Thanks Mysterygirl!

Alrighty...I don't drink, so I didn't have any of the suggested liqueurs. I quickly made this with a dash of vanilla and some brown sugar for the added flavor. I used frozen peaches that had been defrosted. And instead of ice cream, I poured this over a homemade shortcake. Yummy! A quick version of peach cobbler that was really easy!

Great simple dessert. I used frozen peaches, French vanilla ice cream and Grand Marnier. The orange flavor was very subtle but added just the right amount of intrigue. Thanks MG.
