Directions:
Fill a 13 ½ X 9 in. glass dish with peach laves by arranging cut-side up in tight layer. Set aside.

Pour reserved peach liquid in medium-size saucepan and add lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon stick, and vanilla. Bring mixture to a boil in medium-high heat, 2 minutes or until sugar has completely dissolved. Remove and discard cinnamon sticks from hot liquid and pour over peaches. Rearrange peaches back in neat rows, if needed. Top each peach half with butter. Bake in preheated 250°F oven for 1 hour or until the liquid has reduced to a thick syrupy sauce. Allow cooling to room temperature before serving.

To serve:
Transfer glass dish to holders. Pour ½ cup of heated brandy and light up with a match and present dish to head of the table occupant while peaches are still aflame. Provide serving spoons and dessert plates. Occupant of head of table will have to proportion peaches (two per serving) on dessert plates, scoop up and drizzle still flaming syrup over peaches and pass plates to diner on the left side that will also pass it down to the person at the end of the table until everyone has a plate. Pass whipped cream around to dab and complement the peaches.
