STEWED PEACHES
1 ½ lb. cling or freestone peaches
½ cup water
½ cup sugar more or less
Choose well-ripened, juicy but firm fruit. Peal and halve peaches and remove stones. Add water and sugar, cover and simmer slowly until peaches are soft (5 to 15 minutes, the time depending on size and the quality of peaches). Cool peaches, chill and serve plain or with cream. 5 servings.
(Any of these recipes I have been posting can have by covering the dehydrated or freeze dried products with hot water and let sit until rehydrating. Drain off excess liquid. Add sugar and any additional water necessary to make ½ cup liquid.)
Cooking with freeze dried products becomes very easy and your family will love the taste. It takes a little longer to rehydrate dried fruits. But the flavor is there and the extra time is worth the effort. After all the pealing and cutting is already completed for you.
