| Just made a tasty peach compote dessert tonight with some fresh South Jersey peaches i bought at a farmer's market. Warning: this is not healthy. Melt butter in a fry pan over medium heat. Place peaches (cut in half, pits removed) face down in the butter and brown very slightly. Sprinkle in some nuts as well if you like them. Flip the peaches after they brown. Sprinkle in some white and brown sugar until the sugar caramelizes. Be sure not to burn. Add a little milk and let reduce until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Serve warm with a little crushed up graham crackers (the plain kind without the cinnamon sugar), a little dollop of whipped cream and some fresh chopped mind. Pretty awesome. Peaches have to be good and ripe though. This will not be good with hard, unripe peaches. |
