Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Bring a large saucepan full of water to a boil; submerge peaches in boiling water with a slotted spoon for 45 seconds. Drain peaches in a colander; refresh under cold running water. Remove peach skins. Halve peaches; remove pits.

  2. Combine sugar and water in a deep saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add ginger, cardamom, vanilla bean seeds and pod, cinnamon stick, and thyme sprigs; cover and simmer mixture 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let syrup cool to room temperature for flavors to develop. Strain out solids from syrup.

  3. Return syrup to saucepan; add peaches and bring to a boil. Lower heat to low, cover, and simmer until peaches are just tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let peaches cool in syrup to room temperature (peaches can be made up to 8 hours ahead and refrigerated, and served chilled, if desired).

  4. To serve , with slotted spoon, place 2 peach halves, cut sides up, into each of four dessert bowls. Top with a scoop of sorbet; scatter fresh raspberries over top. Spoon some of the poaching syrup over each serving and garnish with a thyme sprig.
