What We Cook: Easy Sneezy Peaches ~ page 253

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Easy Sneezy Peaches ~ page 253

Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on these fancy tasting poached peaches, and you have an amazing dessert. Or serve just as they are in their own juices and they are delightfully different.

Peel your peaches with a potato peeler rather than a knife so that you don't loose much flesh. You need cling-free peaches for this recipe so you can easily cut them in half.

You can use brandy, rum, vodka, or any other liquor for the sauce to poach the peach halves in. I used this bottle of Kirsch that I have had forever to use in cooking...

After a 15 minutes cooking time, turn the oven to broil, and sprinkle sugar over the peaches so that the sugar will caramelize. Keep an eye on your peaches though...I got to talking on the phone with Carissa last week when I made these, and mine got good and brown before I knew it!
