• o 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• o 3 large firm ripe peaches (about 1 1/4 pounds)
• o 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
• o 1/2 cup firmly packed golden brown sugar

Add brown sugar and stir until mixture thickens and bubbles. Add cream 1 tablespoon at a time and stir until sugar dissolves and sauce is thick and smooth, about 3 minutes. Stir in peaches, pecans and bourbon. Cook until sauce is heated through, stirring constantly, about 1 minute longer.
