I think it's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy peaches or nectarines, especially during the warmer weather. Cold, fresh, crisp and juicy - a perfectly refreshing and healthy snack that's easy to enjoy at home. Over non-dairy yogurt, in a salad, or when you're on the go. Fall may have arrived, but here are two of my favorite ways to enjoy peaches or nectarines:
Sangria
You will need:1 bottle Spanish white wine1 bottle club soda2 shots brandy1 shot peach Schnaps1 lemon, sliced,1 lime, sliced1/2 nectarine, thinly sliced1/2 granny smith apple, thinly sliced1/2 c raspberries
Mix all together and chill for 3-4 hours before serving. Place a nectarine slice, some apple and a couple of raspberries into each glass, and then mix the sangria will again before adding the liquid atop the fruit. Keep the lemon and lime in the pitcher...the other fruit can be eaten as you go.
Peach-Blueberry Cobbler:You will need:7 ripe peaches, rinsed, pitted and diced1 pint blueberries, rinsed1 TBSP non-dairy butter1 c brown sugar1 c quick cooking oats3/4 c seeds and nuts (I recommend sunflower seeds, walnuts and pecans)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
In a non-stick or ceramic baking dish add your diced peaches and blueberries.
Into a large ziplog bag, pour the butter, sugar, oats, seeds and/or nuts. Seal the bag and, using your fingers, squeeze the mixture together from the outside of the bag until the butter is well combined. Then shake it around, Shake 'n Bake style, and pour over the fruit.Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring every 10 so the oats don't burn.Serve hot plain or topped with your favorite ice cream.
