Cooking Peaches On The Stove Recipes

SAUTEED PEACHES

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar.
• Add peaches. Cook, stirring, until sugar has dissolved and peaches are warmed through and coated, 2 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

BAKED PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x9-inch or similarly sized baking dish that's large enough to hold the peach halves in a single layer with nonstick spray. Pick a dish that's sized to where your peaches fit comfortably side by side, but there isn't too much excess room around them. Arrange peaches cut-side up in the dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, maple syrup, brandy, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Spoon the mixture over the peaches, filling the center and letting it run over the sides.
• Bake peaches, uncovered, until the peaches are cooked through and fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or a pour of heavy cream, as desired.

SKILLET-FRIED PEACHES

Steps:

• Toss together peaches, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Melt sugar and butter in a large skillet over medium-high, stirring often, until mixture is bubbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in peach mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and sauce is thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in peach schnapps, and cook 1 minute. Remove peach mixture from heat, and let stand 5 minutes. Serve warm over vanilla ice cream.

CARAMELIZED SKILLET PEACHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, toss together peaches, lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
• Melt butter and sugar in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach mixture and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 5 minutes. If using bourbon or rum, add to skillet, and cook until reduced, about 1 minute.
• Serve immediately over ice cream, if desired.

STOVETOP PEACHES WITH STREUSEL TOPPING AND ZESTY SOUR CREAM

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the sour cream and a few gratings of zest from the orange and the lemon until smooth. Add the juice from half of the orange and half of the lemon. Taste to see if it has a fresh taste from the citrus. If not, add the juice from the remaining fruit halves. Whisk to blend and set aside.
• With a small paring knife, cut around the center of each peach to halve it and remove the pit. Place the peach halves on a flat surface and cut them into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• Heat a small saute pan and add the honey. It should start to foam and bubble. Keep the heat low and allow the honey to simmer gently. Note: the honey becomes extremely hot - be careful to keep the heat low.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. When it begins to froth and turn light brown on the edges, add the peach slices and stir to coat with the butter. Cook, stirring from time to time, until the peaches become tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the lime zest and juice. Stir to blend. Meanwhile, check the honey. It should be a golden brown. If the foam prevents you from seeing the color, remove the pot from the heat and blow on the center of the foam to see the color beneath. Pour the honey over the peaches and stir to blend.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and spoon the peaches into individual serving plates or a platter. Top with the Streusel Topping and a dollop of the sour cream.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together until incorporated and in clumps. Place onto a baking sheet and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Use as needed.

EASY STOVETOP PEACH COBBLER

Steps:

• Discard 1/2 of the juice from the peaches and pour the rest into a saucepan. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar. Empty the cake mix on top of the peaches in an even layer. Place the margarine on top of the cake mix in the center.
• Cover sauce pan with a lid and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Once you see steam escaping the saucepan, reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking for 10 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time! Remove from heat and allow to stand with the lid on for 15 minutes before serving. The cake mix should look like dumplings.
