Hot Peaches Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Halve and pit the peaches, then lightly score the cut sides of each peach a few times with a knife.
• Combine the liqueur and butter in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat; cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the liquid just begins to simmer. Add the peaches, cut-side up, and cook until the bottoms begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Sprinkle each peach half with 1 teaspoon sugar and transfer the skillet to the broiler. Broil until the peaches brown in spots, about 3 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Divide the peaches among plates and drizzle with the syrup from the skillet. Serve with the mascarpone.

Steps:

• Cut lettuces into 3/4" thick slices.
• Pit and slice peaches.
• Heat oil in frying pan on moderate heat and chop in garlic.
• Put in lettuce, peaches and fennel and stir for 30 seconds.
• Pour in lemon juice, boil and stir in sour cream.
• When it bubbles, remove salad from heat and transfer to individual bowls.
• Garnish with a dollop of sour cream and one fennel sprig per serving.

Steps:

• Place 1 1/2 cup of flour and the salt into the work bowl of a food processor, and pulse briefly once or twice to combine. Add 9 tablespoons of chilled unsalted butter, and pulse 4 or 5 times, a few seconds per time, until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. With the machine running, drizzle the peach nectar into the dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough gathers itself into a crumbly mass. Transfer the dough into a bowl, form into a ball, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate to hydrate the dough, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the 4 chopped peaches into the food processor, and pulse to puree, about 1 minute. Add the minced habanero peppers, 1 teaspoon at a time, and puree until smooth. Place the remaining 6 sliced peaches into a bowl, and toss lightly with the habanero puree.
• In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup of flour, the white sugar, and 1/4 cup of softened unsalted butter until it forms a crumbly mixture; set the streusel aside.
• Cut the dough in half, and roll each half into a circle about 10 inches in diameter. Fit one dough circle into a 9-inch pie dish. Pour the peach-habanero filling into the bottom pie crust, and sprinkle with the crumbly sugar streusel. Fit the top crust onto the pie, and crimp with a fork to seal the edges. Cut several slits into the top crust for venting steam.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling and thickened, about 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Boil enough water to cover peaches.
• Drop peaches in boiling water for about 1 minute.
• Drain water and when cool enough to touch, remove peach skins.
• Slice peaches into crescent shapes and saute in butter for about 5 minutes until thoroughly warmed.
• Squeeze lemon over top and add brown sugar
• Saute for another minute or 2.
• Remove from heat and serve over very good vanilla ice cream.
• This is not the time to buy lousy ice cream - really good ice cream will make a difference.
