Rounding out my summer flavors, peach is something I have been toying with for a while and although I like the way this came out I still think there is room for improvement. This version of Peaches & Cream is a true blend of the two flavors where some might say the peach is almost too mild. The recipe is a DJ BC style mash-up of a number of other recipes.
1 1/2 Cups of Heavy Cream
1 1/2 Cups of Milk
3/4 Cup of Sugar
1 Teaspoon of Vanilla
1 Pinch of Salt
4 Georgia Peaches, Juiced and reduced to 1/2 Cup
The juicing of the peaches will take some time and, much like reducing coffee down to a stronger flavor, there is a lot of room for error. You have to keep an eye on this. The change for me is that you would typically cut up the peaches, add about a 1/4 cup of sugar and a dash of water and simmer it all in a sauce pan to yield more than a cup of juice after straining out the fruit. The juice really should be reduced down to a stronger half a cup.
Sweet Peaches & Cream. Good thing it will be hot this weekend!
Enjoy!
