Slow Cooker Brandy Spiced Peaches Recipe
Rummage through your pantry cabinets and dig out a few cans of neglected peach slices and bottle of brandy. This is a good one!
The Ingredients.
serves 8
 |
| slightly blurry photo. I blame the brandy. |
2 (15-ounce) cans peach slices
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/4 cup brandy
whipped cream (optional garnish--I like the stuff in a can, but you can of course make your own)
The Directions.
Use a 2-quart slow cooker. Combine all the ingredients except for the brandy and whipped cream. Dont drain the peaches---pour the entire cans in. Cook on low for 4 hours. Remove from heat, and stir in the brandy. Pour all of this into a sealed plastic container and refrigerate for 48 hours (its worth the wait, I promise!), then remove the cinnamon sticks and cloves.
Dish into serving bowls and dollop with whipped cream.
The Verdict.
This is my moms friend, Carols dessert recipe. Carol shared that she used to make it with peach halves but there was too much "slipping and sliding" with the halves, so she switched to slices. I LOVED the flavor---rich, and sophisticated. The brandy is in there, and you can taste it. This is definitely not a dessert for children---eat it all yourself!
The Cuisinart slow cooker giveaway is over, and the winners have been notified. If you havent heard from me, you didnt win. Im sorry. I do have more fun things Im working on, though!
Happy 12th day of Crocktober!

Indian Spiced Slow Cooker Red Lentil Soup Recipe with Spinach and Coconut Milk Vegan Gluten Free
 |
| We swooned over this Indian-Spiced Slow Cooker Red Lentil Soup with Spinach and Coconut Milk |
I know some of you are going to take one look at the title of this recipe and veto it because you think the Indian spices, the red lentils, or the spinach is just not going to appeal to you. But that would be truly sad, because the entire time we were making this easy slow cooker soup, Jake and I just couldn't stop tasting it and remarking on how good it was! Admittedly Jake is an Indian food lover, and I'm a fanatic for red lentils, but still we're pretty picky about what we consider to be "blog-worthy" and this delicious soup more than made the cut. If you're not vegan you might like it with a dollop of fat-free Greek Yogurt, and I loved it with a generous squeeze of lime.
