However I am all about easy-delicious-fast.
As a child one of the comfort foods
that my mother would make is fruit soup. Whether is was strawberry,
blueberry or mixed berry. Nothing beat the warm fruit soup with ice cold
milk. I do not recall having peach soup but my
son asked if I could try it with peaches. I did find some recipes that resemble what we are use to, but remember my easy-delicious-fast policy!
So here is my version!
25-30 ripe white peaches
1 can of Whole Coconut Milk (13.5 oz.)
Rinse peaches, remove pit and put in a pot (yeap-leave the skin
on--it is good fiber). Simmer on low with a lid until peach's start
to boil in their own juices. Spoon 1/2 to 3/4 of the chunks into a
blender (reserving the remaining chunks). Blend and return to a pot. Add a can of coconut milk to the blended puree, stir till dissolved and add remaining peach chunks.
Optional to add vanilla and sugar--but mine was sweet enough! It is a healthy bowl of COMFORT! I like to freeze some for the winter months too!
Since I had more peaches I made some....
Peach Ice Cream
A few
years ago I discovered a recipe for making ice cream without an ice cream maker. I
make this for special occasions and have discovered many variations however my
favorite is adding cardamom and bits of vanilla fudge--OMG! There are many
recipes but this is the one I adapted for our home to be less sweet than those I have found.
4-cups of Whole or Heavy Whipping Cream
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (about 14 oz)
2 scraped
Vanilla Beans
6 peaches-diced
Blend cream, sweetened condensed milk and scraped vanilla beans in a mixing bowl.
When blended add diced peaches and freeze for at least 6 hour or overnight.

Vanilla Bean is a must in this recipe!
