Add the peach halves cut-side down to the simmering liquid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and poach, uncovered, until the peaches are just tender when pierced with a paring knife but still hold their shape, 8–12 minutes depending on ripeness. Transfer the peaches to serving bowls with a slotted spoon.
