PEACHES "FOSTER" WITH CANE SYRUP PECAN ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. Bring a 6-quart pot three-fourths full of water to a boil, then gently drop peaches into water and cook 15 seconds. Transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water and cool completely to stop cooking. Remove skin with a paring knife and cut peaches into 1/2-inch-thick wedges, discarding pits.
• Melt butter in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, then stir in brown sugar, rum, cinnamon, and salt until smooth. Add peaches and simmer, stirring and turning peaches over occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool until warm and serve over scoops of ice cream.

GRILLED PEACHES

Steps:

• Cut the peaches in half and remove the pit. Slice each half in half and toss them in a bowl with the vanilla extract, almond extract, and brown sugar. Set aside for 15 minutes while you preheat a grill with a medium-high heat. Grill skin side down until skin is slightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn and grill on the other 2 sides until you get nice grill marks, about 1 minute on each side.
• Divide the peaches among 4 bowls and serve with the frozen yogurt and toasted almonds, if desired.

PEACH BUTTER

Steps:

• Wash peaches, remove seeds and any bad spots- DO NOT PEEL!
• Chop peaches.
• Put peaches in pot with water.
• Cook peaches over medium, simmer until peaches are soft, about 15- 20 minutes depending up on the ripeness of your fruit.

• You should have about 2 quarts of peach pulp.
• Mix pulp with sugar and cinnamon.
• Cook over medium heat until thick enough to round up on a spoon about 30 minutes to an hour (this may also be done in a slow- 250 degree oven but it takes longer).
• You will need to stir frequently, making sure that it doesn't stick.
• Place in hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4" headspace.
• Adjust lid and rings on jars.
• Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
• Remove to counter and allow to cool.
