A post to [livejournal.com profile] homebrewing gave me a vague, discontented urge to make some booze with peaches in. Now, I could do a straight peach wine or peach melomel, but that struck me as being potentially dull, so I went off looking for Stuff That Works With Peaches so I can Be Experimental.


Lots of recommendations of lemon, vanilla, almonds, raspberries. Also various liqueurs and brandies, and a lot of cream, which doesn't help for boozification.

Peaches/plums/raisins. Peaches/pears/apricots/chestnuts. With blueberries. This pie recipe has nutmeg and cinnamon. Spiced peaches has cloves, allspice, and cinnamon. That's the Fannie Farmer. Raisins, orange peel, and walnuts. Nutmeg, ginger, or cinnamon, how amusing. Coconut and bananas. From the BH&G New Cookbook. My ice cream/ice cream desserts elderly cookbook doesn't add anything but lots of enthusiasm about almonds and a mention of pistachios and marshmallows (!).


[livejournal.com profile] alhandra, do you have any suggestions about stuff that works with peaches? I'm thinking of trying to do something sweet and maybe dessert-y. Currently inclined towards peaches and vanilla, maybe a little bit with the spices.

Other accomplishments of the day to date: assembled the lamp for the mathom room. Haven't found the bulbs or the timer for it, but you can't have everything. Moved laundry around ineffectually. Failed spectacularly to sleep well; will apply vodka solution when preparing next attempt. Remembered to tell [livejournal.com profile] teinedreugan to get bandages at the grocery store.

I have a recipe called "Navajo peach crumble" which has cinnamon, nutmeg and pine nuts in the topping. Cinnamon and nutmeg might help for the boozifying, but I doubt the pine nuts would. Want the recipe? It's really good.

Mmm, peaches. Peaches and ginger are spectacular together. Peach and mango is good, as is peach and passion fruit, peach and raspberry ...

I'm not sure I'd agree with peach and blueberry. Blueberry belongs with lemon.

Oddly, I have this feeling that peach and lime could be really good ... but don't take my word for that, I'd taste-test it together first.
