Georgia Peach Recipes

Steps:

• For the filling: In a saucepan set over low heat, add the peaches, sugar, cinnamon and ginger. Stir until the peaches are evenly coated, and then simmer until the peaches are tender and the syrup thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Place the peach mixture in a blender and pulse until thick and chunky.
• For the French toast: In a large, shallow bowl, add the milk, cinnamon, vanilla and eggs, and whisk together. Dip the bread in the batter and to soak up the liquid.
• Heat a griddle over medium-high heat, then add some butter. Place the soaked bread on the griddle and cover with large metal bowl to keep the heat in. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• Layer one slice of French toast, a spoonful of the peach filling and a second slice of French toast on four serving plates. Top each plate with confectioner's sugar, whipped cream and some Candied Pecans.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a saucepan set over medium heat, add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water. Mix to combine and cook until the mixture begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Place the toasted pecans on a sheet tray and pour the hot mixture over the top and toss until the pecans are evenly coated. Place in the oven for 6 to 8 minutes. Cool the pecans to handle. Crumble the candied pecans and toast 2 more minutes. Yield: 1 cup

Steps:

• Whisk together the ground gingersnaps and pecans in a small mixing bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and stir into the mixture until combined. Place 1 tablespoon of the crumb mixture into the bottom of each of six 4-ounce jars. Press into an even, compact layer. Set aside.
• To make the filling, place the cream cheese, mascarpone, sour cream, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the beater attachment. Whip just until smooth, about 1 minute. Drop 3 tablespoons of filling into each jar. Give each jar a few gentle taps against the counter to even out the filling. Secure the lids on top of the jars and refrigerate to set for at least 1 hour.
• To make the Georgia peach topping, place a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon butter and heat until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, ginger and cinnamon. Cook until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Add the peaches and stir to coat. Add the bourbon and lemon juice. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are slightly softened, about 3 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
• Remove the lids from the cheesecake jars. Dollop 1 tablespoon of peach compote on top of each cheesecake. Serve immediately or secure the lids and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large glass or metal bowl, whip the egg whites until they can hold a peak. Gradually sprinkle in the sugar, while continuing to whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold in saltines, vanilla, baking powder and pecans. Spread evenly into an ungreased 9 inch deep dish pie plate.
• Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven, and cool. The crust will puff and crack as it cools.
• When crust is completely cool, arrange sliced peaches over the top. Cover with aluminum foil to protect their color until serving. Top with sweetened whipped cream just before serving.

Steps:

• Puree peaches with the sugar and half-and-half in batches in a blender or food processor.
• In a gallon ice cream freezer container, mix together the peach mixture, sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, and vanilla. Pour in enough whole milk to fill the container to the fill line, about 2 cups.
• Follow the manufacturer's instructions to freeze the ice cream.

Steps:

• Peel peaches and set aside. In a large pot over medium high heat, boil sugar, vinegar and water until the syrup is moderately thick.
• Add cloves, cinnamon and peaches. Bring to boil stirring occasionally until the peaches can be pierced to the pit with a fork.
• Fill sterilized canning jars with peaches. Continue boiling syrup until heavy and add to peaches to cover.
• In a large stock pot, pour water half way to top with boiling water. Using a holder, carefully lower jars into pot. Leave a 2-inch space between jars. Add more boiling water to cover them, about 2 inches above the tops. Bring to a boil and cover, processing for 35 minutes. Remove jars from pot. Put jars on a wood or cloth surface, several inches apart and allow to cool. Jars will be sealed.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in a shaker with crushed ice and shake.
• Serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, combine peaches, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss to coat evenly, and pour into a 2 quart baking dish. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine flour, 1/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in butter with your fingertips, or a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until just combined.
• Remove peaches from oven, and drop spoonfuls of topping over them. Sprinkle entire cobbler with the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Bake until topping is golden, about 30 minutes.
