Peach Melba Muffins

These were very yummy although I did leave out the brandy and added 1 tbsp of vanilla instead. I also used strawberry jam instead of raspberry.

Peach Raspberry Melba Muffins


1 cup diced fresh peaches
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup butter, melted
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons brandy
1/2 teaspoon salt
Raspberry jam


In a bowl, sprinkle peaches with cinnamon and set aside. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; stir in walnuts. In a separate bowl, whisk egg, milk, butter and brandy together and stir into peaches. Make a "well" in the dry ingredients and fill with peach mixture. Mix lightly, just until moistened. Fill 12 greased muffin cups half full; place 1 teaspoon of raspberry jam in the center of each; cover with batter until 2/3 full. Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown.

Campfire Peach Shortcake

Ingredients:

2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp margarine or butter, melted
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
2 medium ripe bananas
2 medium peaches
1/2 of 10-3/4 ounce frozen loaf pound cake, thawed and cut into 3/4 inch slices
1/2 of 8 oz. frozen whipped topping, thawed
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Dash ground nutmeg

Stir together honey, melted margarine or butter, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon in a small container; cover and transport. To cook, cut bananas and peaches into bite-size pieces. Place fruit in a disposable foil baking pan. Add honey mixture and toss to coat fruit. Cook fruit over campfire or on the rack of an uncovered grill over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring ofter. Spoon warm fruit over pound cake slices. Stir together whipped topping, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and nutmeg. Spoon some on top of each serving.

I found this recipe on the Dickey Farms website http://www.gapeaches.com and it was so good! I decided to use only peaches and I cooked it in the oven on 350 degrees instead of over a campfire. I cut up cubes of pound cake and put at the bottom of glass topped with peaches and whipped cream. This would probably be a very pretty dessert layered in a trifle bowl.

Best Peach Cobbler Ever

I found this recipe perusing allrecipes.com. It turned out pretty yummy although the spices collected in the middle while it was cooking. If anyone knows how to avoid this let me know!

"In the winter make this 9x13-inch cobbler with canned peaches, in the summer use fresh ones. But either way this cobbler is wonderful. The batter goes in the pan before the spiced peaches, and it 's all topped off with cinnamon and nutmeg. Then it 's baked for an hour."

Peach Crisp

I've always loved peach crisp, especially if it's made with fresh peaches. Canned peaches just are not the same. This is a great dessert to warm up with on a cold night.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups sliced peaches (about 4 medium)
• 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup oats
• 1/3 cup margarine or butter, softened
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 3/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  

Preparation:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange peaches in greased square pan, 8x8x2 inches. Mix remaining ingredients; sprinkle over peaches.

Bake until topping is golden brown and peaches are tender, about 30 minutes. Serve warm and if desired, with cream or ice cream. 6 servings.
