It's a peach weekend!
I had a case of bakers block entering into this weekend and I mentioned it to a friend who suggested I make recipes with peaches. My mind took off at speeds the would make a Nascar driver envious. Here's the first batch of creations ~
The first thing I made was peach syrup. I had always wanted to try making my own syrups for pancakes and waffles so this was the perfect opportunity.
Peach Syrup
20 ounces frozen peaches, I used organic
2 cups water
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tbsp corn starch
2 tbsp cold water
Slice peaches as thin as you can. Place in a large saucepan with the water, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer for 20 minutes. Combine cornstarch and cold water and slowly add into hot peach syrup. Bring back to a boil and cook until thick. Use either hot or cold.
Peach Waffles
1/3 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs , lightly beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup peach juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 large or 2 small peaches, peeled and sliced thin or diced
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs. Add remainder of liquids. Gradually add in flour and baking powder, salt and cinnamon..Bake in a greased waffle iron according to manufactures directions.
