Peaches 'n' Cream Eclairs with Bourbon Caramel SauceRomulo Yanes

Bourbon lends depth to the sauce and extra sweetness to the cream filling, but this dessert is fantastic even without it.

Cooks' note:

éclairs can be baked (but not glazed or filled) 1 day ahead and kept, once cooled, in an airtight container at room temperature. Recrisp on a baking sheet in a 375°F oven, about 5 minutes, then cool before glazing with caramel.
