LATE SEASON PEACHES

 

Just a quick note - it's late in the season for peaches, and some of them on the market look really good. But! when you get some of them home they turn out to be a bit mealy. They're not too good for eating as is, no matter how you slice them, but cooking them a bit will do the trick.

I've never used mealy peaches in a pie or tart, but I have cut then into chunks and done a quick sauté in a big gob of butter, brown sugar, and some rum - Demerara is the best! Serve this as is, or over vanilla ice cream. Good? You won't believe it! This will keep for many, many days and will heat up quickly in the microwave.
