Peaches in Syrup
The height of Summer is the best time for making preserves. If the job seems a little daunting, I assure you spending an arvo making jam or preserving all sort of fruit, from your garden glut to some seasonal beauties you've found at the market at a cheap price, is well worth the effort! Close your eyes, and imagine, eating soft, sweet, juicy Peaches in Syrup in the middle of Winter, perhaps even on a snowy day... Pick a chillier or rainy Summer's day, put your apron on, and get to work; your future self will be grateful!
Ingredients (makes one 3/4-litre/3/46-cup jar):
3 large yellow or white peaches (you want them just ripe, rather on the firm side)
3/4 cup caster sugar
1 plump vanilla bean
1 1/2 cup water
In a large pot of boiling water, boil a 3/4-litre/3/4-cup jar, to sterelise.
Bring a medium saucepan, filled to three-quarters of water to the boil.
Once boiling, gently lower in the peaches, 1 minute. Then, immediately drain the peaches and plunge them in an ice bath. Set aside.
Pour sugar into a medium saucepan.
Split vanilla bean lengthwise, and add to the saucepan. Finally, stir in water.
Bring to the boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar is completely dissolved. Then, boil rapidly for about 2 to 3 minutes, until syrup slightly thickens.
Meanwhile, gently remove the skin off the peaches. Carefully halve and pit them.
Remove jar from the boiling water carefully, and dry.
Place peach halves into sterelised jar.
Pour the hot vanilla syrup over the peach halves, including the vanilla bean, and close jar tightly. Return to the boiling water bath, 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Once opened, you can keep Peaches in Syrup for about three weeks to a month in the refrigerator. Serve them warm or cold with yoghurt and Ice Cream, or on top of Pancakes...

Balsamic Steak and Peach Salad
Balsamic Steak and Peach Salad
Grilled Steak with fresh peaches, gorgonzola and caramelized onions…oh my gosh. Every bite is a flavor explosion. For those that don’t like Gorgonzola, Goat Cheese would probably be equally as good (maybe with a few chopped pecans?) or just skip the cheese. You’ll love it, too!
