• 1 1/2 cupssweet vermouth
• 1 cupagave nectar
• 1/2 cupwater
• 2vanilla beans or 2 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste

• 4semi-ripe peaches
•  ______________________________
•  Crumble
• 1 cupall-purpose flour
• 3/4 cuprolled oats
• 1/2 cupbrown sugar
• 1/2 tspbaking powder
• 1/2 tspcinnamon
• 1/4 tspkosher salt
• 4 ozcold butter (cut into small cubes)

Preparation

1. 1.

   To make the crumble, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. While the oven is heating, combine the crumble ingredients in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture begins to clump together, then remove it from the food processor and spread it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake the crumble for 10 minutes, stir, then return it to the oven for another 5-8 minutes or until the mixture is golden brown. Remove the crumble from the oven and set it aside to cool.

2. 2.

   To make the peaches, cut each peach in half and remove the pits, then set the fruit aside. Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir over low heat until all ingredients are combined and the liquid reaches a gentle simmer. Place the halved peaches in the saucepan, and cover the top with a piece of parchment paper cut to the size of the pan.

3. 3.

   Let the peaches simmer in the mixture for 5 minutes, then flip them to ensure they’re evenly coated. After another 5 minutes, test the fruit using a paring knife or cake tester—the knife should slide through easily, but the peaches shouldn’t feel mushy. Once the peaches are ready, use a slotted spoon to remove them from their cooking liquid and set them aside, reserving the liquid.

4. 4.

   Heat a grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees F) and place the peaches flesh-side down on the grill rack, cooking until grill marks appear. Remove the peaches from the heat and place them on a serving platter, topping with whipped cream, berry sorbet, if desired, and the crumble. Drizzle the leftover poaching liquid on top and serve immediately.
