Too many leftover peaches, we need a recipe to use them all that's not too unhealthy. Help?

Question

We had a peach festival and we have a whole box of leftover peaches. I'm afraid they're going to go bad before we have a chance to eat them all and so i'm looking for some recipes that use peaches that isn't anything too fatty like a cobbler. We have around 40 medium sized peaches left.

Answer 5

My husband and kids love Ham and Bean soup after the holiday. I learned how to make it from my grandfather growing up. You will need: leftover ham cut into small pieces a large onion diced 5 or 6 pieces of celery diced 1 bag great northern beans 2 cans of tomato soup a pinch of salt and pepper 1 ham bone 1 bag of carrots sliced in bite sized pieces Fill a stockpot about half way with water. Add the onion, celery, carrots, beans and ham bone in. Let cook on medium flame until beans are cooked well. then add the ham and cook an addition 30 minutes. Add the tomato soup and cook about 30 more minutes. And your done! This only takes one pot to make so clean up is fairly easy. And I make enough that we can have it for 2 nights. After you make it you can freeze the second nights worth, so another night you can have a home cooked meal without any prep work. This soup is very hearty and I serve it as a main meal with a nice garden salad on the side. Hope I helped, Enjoy your holiday and your meal!

how about this?
Dehydrating peaches and pears
Categories: Can/preserv Fruit
Yield: 1 servings

TO DRY PEACHES: Wash and defuss with a terry towel (peeling is not necessary) Then cut into slices directly onto tray. They may tend to stick to the trays, but half way through, turn them over. Eat and enjoy as is, or soak to reconstitute, and then serve with cream and a little honey if desired. PEACH LEATHER: Blend ripe, pitted peaches. Sweeten with a bit of honey if desired. Add a touch of spices if you desire. Dry as for basic leather. Peaches by themselves have a delicious flavor, but this leather can also be combined with apple chunks. TO DRY PEARS: Once again, small pieces are the ruleof thumb. Quarter the washed fruit, do no peel, then slice thin for fast drying. Keep the temperature as usual, around 100F. It is unnecessary even to core pears, since the whole fruit is deliciously edible when dreid. Your willfind your delicate hued, beautifully translucent dried pears to be an aesthtic pleasure as well. PEAR LEATHER: Nothing needs to be added to pears when making leather. Perhaps a touch of spice if desired. Follow instructions for basic leather. Origin: Dry It - You'll Like It! circa 1973.

Answer 8

Peach and Avocado salsa:

3-6 peaches
2 avocados
1 lg onion.

Dice all the above, then add a dash of hot sauce and enough lime juice to keep the fruit and avocados from browning. Serve with tortilla chips or add to a salad. Just get creative.

You might also try making a peach chutney. There are plenty of recipes online for mango chutney and you could easily adapt them.

Answer 9

try making some peach parfaits. we make them at work and they fly out of our grab n go area.
vanilla lowfat yogurt
granola
peaches
layer each ingredient in a cup
and enjoy

or you can take the peaches and cut them into slices. put on a cookie sheet and flash freeze them for a couple hours. take out and put into a plastic freezer bag and put back into the freezer. this way the peaches will not become a big peach clump. you can take out as many as you need and return the rest to the freezer for later.

Answer 10

Try broiling, or baking the peaches with a little sugar on top. It's not a heavy dish, and it's somewhat healthy.
