Cindy in C-ville Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 We picked a ton of peaches the other day and now I have peeled them, but they're too mushy to slice. So, I'm going to toss them in the blender and then put them into quart Ziploc bags. Other than making smoothies, what can I do with them? Thanks!

Desert Rat Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Serve over ice cream or on toast like a jam? I replace most veg. oil in recipes with apple sauce. Maybe peach "sauce" would work too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalknot Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 You can mix it into plain yogurt or cream cheese. Or into batter, similar to what Kalah suggested as an oil replacement. I sometimes replace eggs with applesauce in muffin mixes and pancake batters; I'm sure peach puree would be tasty, too! You could make a peach-based salsa (think mango chutney or something similar, and substitute) to serve with a chicken entree. Maybe diced, rather than pureed but even a puree would work in a pinch. You could use it for crepe fillings. We like crepes for breakfast or snacks - quick and easy. You could use it as a base for cold soup. I like cold soup in summer! I'm not a peach fan, so I'm not sure what would compliment it ... but I'm sure someone somewhere in Internetland would have a complimentary herb or blend for a yummy peach-based cold soup. Hmm. That's about all I have LOL. Good luck getting them all used up :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy in MD Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 fruit leathers. I'm pretty sure you can use your oven for drying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donna Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 How about heating it up adding a little thickener and using it as syrup over pancakes or icecream? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriM Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Peach honey--equal parts peach puree and sugar. Boil it until clear, then put it in jars. It doesn't set like jam, but stays the texture of honey. YUM on biscuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
