this week’s recipe: spiced peaches
My grandmother used to always make spiced peaches for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. I got my hands on the recipe last week, and will try to make them tomorrow! My grandmother bought these from Del Monte when she could (adding a cinnamon stick and cloves to make them pretty), but apparently they can be hard to find in stores. In which case, we have the recipe!
Spiced Peaches après Leslie Thompson
1 can large firm peach halves
1 tsp. whole cloves
1 stick 3″ cinnamon
2/3 c. firmly packed brown sugar
2 T. vinegar
Drain syrup from peaches and pour syrup in sauce pan. Add the cloves and cinnamon. Boil rapidly until 1/2 c. syrup remains. Add brown sugar and vinegar and simmer 5 minutes. Pour over peaches in jar. Let stand overnight. Can be served hot or cold.
My grandmother always served these in a cut glass dish, but they’d be nice on top of a tart, too.
