Make It

Poaching Syrup and Peaches:

Filling:

2. Mix cream cheese, sour cream, honey, vanilla and cinnamon in bowl. Cover; refrigerate.

Sauce:

3. Puree berries in processor. Add sugar, juice; pulse to blend. Pour into sieve over bowl. With spatula, gently press berries through; discard seeds. Add enough chilled syrup to puree to equal 1/2 cup. Chill.

4. Spread scant 1 tablespoon of filling over cut side of each of 8 peach halves. Sandwich with remaining halves to make 8 whole peaches.

5. Spoon 1 tablespoon sauce into each of 8 dessert bowls. Stand peach upright in each. Garnish with mint.
