Yum, stone fruits are in season. With our own homegrown May Pride peaches ready to rock and the generous helping of apriums in our produce box, I've been pining (or peachin' heehee) for something to do with them all. Fresh is best. But I've dried some. I've also made a mash up that does double duty as baby food/compote and fruit spread.
Inredients:
-5 Aprium
-5 Preaches
Optional-
-Sugar or agave to sweeten to taste
-Lemon juice
Directions:
1) Clean, peel, cut fruit into chunks
2) Steam until chunks are just cooked through (I do 10 min in the Brezza)
3) Drain off excess liquid, this is important to not have too runny of a spread
4) To make a smoother consistency blend as desired. Or remove mixture from steam basket and mash with a fork.
5) To make fruit spread I add about 1/5 tsp of lemon juice and 1 tsp agave to each 1/2c of fruit.
*Tip- Freeze the fruit spread in ice cube tray as you would baby food. Take out cubes as needed and heat in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds to put "fresh" spread on sandwiches, toast, yogurt, ice cream.
