Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 2/3 cup bourbon
  • 1/4 cup agave
  • 1/8 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided
  • 10 pink peppercorns (whole)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 strips of lemon peel (no pith - I use a veggie peeler)
  • 3 peaches, halved, seed removed and thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 store bought pie crust (you couldn't make me feel more ashamed than I already feel), but you can use your own favorite crust recipe

Method

  • Perform a quality check on the bourbon.
  • In a small sauce pan, combine water, 1/8 cup sugar, agave, bourbon, thyme, lemon peel and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Continue to boil until the sauce is reduced and slightly thickened. Strain the liquid and discard the solids. You can do this part ahead. I made the sauce last night and just put it in the fridge until this morning.
  • Quality check the bourbon again.
  • Preheat your oven to 425. Roll out your pie crust until it will overhang the edges of a prepared shallow pie dish about 2 inches.
  • Slice your peaches and put them in the thin syrup you made earlier. Feel free to pause here for a while and let the peaches get all happy with the syrup.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and lemon zest. Stir to combine and spread evenly on the bottom of the pie crust.
  • Arrange peaches on the pan bottom adding a few layers if you like. Fold up the edges of the pie crust and drizzle more of the syrup over top
  • Repeat Step 1.
  • Put the tart on a baking sheet and cook for around 25-30 minutes or until the pie crust is golden brown and the liquid is bubbly in the center. Remove and brush the crust with a little of the leftover syrup. Cool and enjoy.
  • Left over syrup can be boiled down even more and served over vanilla ice cream. I'm just saying......
