PEACHES

A little road trip to the Annapolis valley happily resulted in the acquisition of a half bushel of peaches. I have to be honest, I've never had this many peaches to work with before so everything I made with them were delicious experiments.


Delicious Experiment #1: Peach Cherry Apple Fruit Leather
     This one doesn't really need a recipe, I simply put a bunch of peeled and cut peaches in the VitaMix with some frozen cherries and a couple of chopped apples and pureed. Poured the puree onto dehydrator trays and dried them over night. Cut and store rolled in a sealed container.





Delicious Experiment #2: Peach Jam
     Ok so this one was a bit of a flop because it turned out way too runny. The addition of a couple of chopped apples would have provided enough pectin to make this one awesome.



Delicious Experiment #3: Peach Crisp
     A total winner.


PEACH CRISP

5 cups sliced, peeled peaches
3 Tbsp organic corn starch
1/4 cup maple syrup

Crumble Topping:
2 1/4 cups rolled organic oats
3/4 cup organic flour (I used sprouted spelt)
3/4 tsp sea salt
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup organic sugar (brown or coconut)
3/4 cup organic butter

Method: Preheat oven to 350*F. Combine the peaches with corn starch and maple syrup in a large bowl. Pour into a 9" X 13" baking dish. 
Using the same bowl you just did for the peaches, combine the oats, flour, salt, cinnamon and sugar. Cut the butter in a with a pastry cutter or your hands until every piece of oat is mixed with the butter. Sprinkle onto the peaches and bake in the oven for about 25 minutes.
