Fried Peaches

[donna]

This recipe is from "Old Time Recipes To Enjoy", "The Kentucky Explorer", May 2017. It makes an excellent relish.

Take firm, large free stone peaches, halve them and place them cut down in a skillet of boiling lard or butter. When the edges are nicely browned, turn them up and fill the cups with white sugar and cook until thoroughly done.

Never thought of peaches like this,but I wonder if brown sugar might be better.we would try it with a vanilla sugar that we make for a little additional flavor.

I think brown sugar would be good.

I think brown sugar would be better for sure with this recipe. I never thought of frying up a peach, but it does sound good.

Yes, brown sugar!

As we are on the subject of peaches they were brought to Georgia in 1571 by the Franciscan Monks.they did not become into their own until 1720-1730 as they were cultivated by the Cherokee Indians of that era as a major food source.just another item we can thank the native Americans for.

Sounds delish....
....but remember the A1c blood test you'll need to take before your next check up.
