Peaches are an excellent source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C. They are fat-free and cholesterol free making them a great option for snacks or desserts! When you buy peaches they are classified as freestone, meaning they easily separate from their pit, or they are clingstone, they hold onto the pit. They have their best flavor when they are golden in color, slightly soft, and free of bruises. It is best to avoid green colored peaches, as this means they are not yet ripe and they will not become sweeter as the color changes. Remember, if it smells like a peach, it’s ready to eat.
To help you peel fresh peaches, dip them in boiling water for 20-30 seconds, followed by immediately putting them into cold water. This will allow the skin to slide right off. More ripe fruit will need less scalding time to loosen peels. Peaches brown rapidly when exposed to air. If peeling or cutting up peaches for a recipe, keep them from turning brown by sprinkling with lemon or orange juice.
Step one:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Dissolve cornstarch in cold water in a square baking dish. Add peaches in their juice. Stir to distribute cornstarch.
Step two:
Combine baking mix, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla to make a soft sticky dough. Drop by tablespoon on top of peaches.
Step three:
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and baking mix brown.
