Directions:

Prepare the Peaches: - In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of sugar and water to a simmer over medium heat.
- Cook until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Add the lemon juice and halved peaches to the simmering syrup.
- Allow the peaches to simmer gently until they are tender, approximately 10 minutes. You can check their tenderness by inserting the tip of a knife.
- Once tender, remove the peaches from the syrup and let them cool enough to handle.
 
- 
Chill the Peaches: - Once cooled, carefully remove the skins from the peaches.
- Chill the peach halves in the refrigerator until they are cold. Chilling enhances their flavor and texture.
 
- 
Prepare the Raspberry Sauce: - Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry sauce by pressing the raspberries through a fine sieve.
- Collect the juice in a bowl, discarding any seeds or pulp.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar to the raspberry juice and stir until dissolved. This will sweeten the sauce.
 
- 
Serve: - To serve, ladle the raspberry sauce into two shallow soup plates, creating a generous pool in each plate.
- Place two chilled peach halves in each plate, gently resting them in the center of the sauce.
- Add a small scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the peaches, allowing it to slightly melt into the warm raspberry sauce, creating a delightful contrast of temperatures and flavors.

Enjoy! - Dive into this decadent Peach Melba, savoring each spoonful of tender peach, tangy raspberry sauce, and creamy vanilla ice cream. It’s a dessert fit for any occasion, from casual brunches to elegant dinner parties.
