Nov 20, 2024

(Recipe sweetner modified)

Ingredients

Peaches

  • 2 pounds peaches (about 5 large)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • May sweeten w/ some date-paste (dates soaked, then blenderized w/ some water)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional

Instructions

  • Bring several inches of water to boil in a large saucepan. Use a slotted spoon to lower each peach into the boiling water for about 20 seconds. Place on a cutting board or plate and set aside to cool. (This makes the peaches easy to peel.)
  • When the peaches are cool enough, peel them by piercing the skin with a knife and pulling it off. Slice the peaches into a large bowl. Add the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons date-paste, and cinnamon, if desired.
  • Preheat oven to 375F. Arrange the peaches in a deep 9-inch pie pan.
