Answers:
Time/Servings
Total Time: 20 mins

Active Time: 7 mins

Makes: 4 servings

Ingredients
5 cups water
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
4 peaches (about 1 pound)
1 vanilla bean, split lengthwise and scraped, reserving the seeds and pod
4 (1-by-3-inch) strips lemon zest
Instructions
Combine the water, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla bean seeds and pod in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
Peel the peaches.. Slice off the bottom 1/8 inch of each peach to create a flat, stable base.
Reduce heat to keep poaching liquid at a bare simmer and add the peaches, laying them on their sides so they are almost completely submerged. Cook, turning peaches occasionally so they become saturated on all sides, until they are just tender when pierced with a fork, about 7 minutes.
Allow peaches to cool completely in their poaching liquid. Serve immediately, placed upright on the plate, or transfer peaches and liquid to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
