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.
