My poor husband is allergic to most fruits. He doesn't want your pity, (he's learned to love grapes and watermelon and grapefruit,) but sometimes, I do! To save money we buy fruit from Costco, and I can't finish Costco-sized anything by myself. So at the grocery store recently when I saw white peaches on sale, I couldn't resist getting a few. Honestly, my intention was to eat one and use the other two to make a compote, since my hubs can eat 'em if they're cooked. But after I ate the first, it seemed like such a waste to cook the delicious gift of nature...
OK, so I had one left and I felt guilty. I saw the idea of broiling peaches somewhere and I thought, it's worth a shot to see if it'll make a good popsicle. Verdict? Definitely worth it!
Materials:*
1 medium-large white peach, broiled
2 tbsp half and half
*This only made a little more than 1 popsicle, so unless you're wary of my endorsement, please quadruple the ingredients. That should make 5-6 popsicles.
Methods:
- Peel and thinly slice peach, lay on tin foil-covered pan and broil for ~5 min
- Blend with half and half
- Pour into molds
Result:
Appearance: Absolutely gorgeous. Even though they are white peaches, broiling them brought out a beautiful pink color.
Texture: Perfect, not very icey, easy to bite, and the satisfaction of eating real fruit bits
Flavor: Fresh! Could be sweeter (add a little sweetened condensed milk if you like), but I loved it as is because it was like fresh fruit on a stick, and the natural sweetness shone through.
Really, surprisingly good in every category. Even though the hubs was hesitant about trying the possibly allergy-inducing popsicle, after one taste he plowed through it. I'd call that success.
