Drunken Peaches Recipes

DRUNKEN PEACHES WRAPPED IN PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut each peach into 8 wedges. Soak the peach wedges in the wine for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
• Remove the peaches from the wine, reserving the wine for another use. Wrap each peach wedge with half a prosciutto slice and fasten with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining peach wedges and prosciutto.

DRUNKEN PEACHES

Steps:

• Mix the sugar, cinnamon, and Chianti Classico in a carafe.
• Add the peaches, and chill for about half hour before serving.

DRUNKEN GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• 1. To make the marinade you combine brown sugar, vanilla, bourbon, and water. Put in a plastic baggie.
• 2. Then peel and slice your peaches about 1/4" thin and add to the marinade. Make sure all the peaches are in the marinade. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or longer if you can do this ahead of time.
• 3. Make sure you oil your grill sheet or pan. Remove the peaches from the marinade. You don't have to save this unless you want to drink it ;). Put them on the grill sheet, put the tray on a medium heat side of the grill.
• 4. Grill them, turning once, until warmed through. About 7-8 minutes per side.
• 5. I add the peaches to some strawberries and blueberries. Slice angel food cake and top with Cool Whip. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do.

DRUNKEN PEACHES (CANNING)

Steps:

• Bring the canner full of water to a boil. Cut an X on the bottom of each peach and blanch them in the canning water for 30 to 45 seconds, then drop them into ice water to chill. Slip the skins off when they are cool enough to handle.
• Make a syrup by heating the sugar and water together in a sauce pan, stirring to dissolve the sugar, and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Cut each peeled peach into quarters, remove the pits, and pack them into the warm pint jars, overlapping them to fit. I get seven peach quarters in each jar, plus one leftover quarter I can eat.
• Add 1/4 Cup brandy to each jar of peaches. Add hot syrup to each jar, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Move a knife around in each jar to release any bubbles, then top off with more syrup if necessary. You will probably have extra syrup, but save it for sweetening other products or fruit mixtures.
• Process filled jars in a boiling water bath for 25 minutes (sea level). Let the jars rest for at least a week to develop best flavor.
