Brown Sugar Peach Sauce

I love this rich warm peach sauce, the brown sugar and butter give it a caramel flavor and just perfect for a summer pancake breakfast - or spoon over vanilla ice cream or raspberry sorbet.

1 pound peaches, skin removed, cut into ½” chunks

½ cup brown sugar

Pinch of salt

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a heavy saucepan combine all the ingredients except the vanilla

2. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly for about 3 minutes our until the peaches are soft and the sauce is slightly thickened

3. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla
