Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

For the Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches:
1 tablespoon organic coconut oil, melted
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, room temperature (if it is cold, the coconut oil will solidify on contact)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Iodized salt
1 medium sweet potato, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch chunks
2 medium peaches, pitted and sliced into 4 wedges each
1 medium sweet onion, peeled and quartered
For the chicken:
4 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs
Sea salt
Fresh-cracked black pepper
4 tablespoons chile jam (some of my favorites: Hell Fire Pepper Jelly from Jenkins Jellies or INNA Jam's Plenty Spicy Jalapeño for heat seekers)
Juice of 1/2 lemon

Steps:

  • To make the Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches:
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the coconut oil, syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Put the potato and peaches in 2 separate bowls. Pour three quarters of the syrup mixture over the sweet potato and one-quarter over the peaches and toss. Spread the potato in an even layer in a large baking dish and roast for 10 minutes. Toss the potato and roast for 5 minutes more. Add the onion and roast for 15 minutes. Toss the potato and onion, add the peaches in an even layer, and roast 10 minutes, or until the potato and onion are fork tender and the peaches have caramelized.
  • To make the chicken:
  • Pat the chicken dry and season both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and arrange the chicken thighs inside (cast iron works really well to get a nice crispy crust). Brown the chicken on one side, giving the chicken time to unstick itself from the pan surface and form a good, crispy coating, about 10 minutes (you can give it some help with your tongs or spatula if needed). Flip the chicken thighs and brown for 6 to 10 minutes, or until you can insert a knife to the bone and no red liquid emerges.
  • Lower heat to medium-low and spoon a quarter of the chile jam over each thigh. Melt the jam over the chicken and on all sides, using tongs to flip and swirl the thighs in the pan. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the jam to form a glaze. Remove the thighs to a serving plate and spoon the glaze on top. Scrape up any bits sticking to the bottom of the pan-these will be the crispiest and the first to go!
  • Just before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the chicken to brighten its flavors and heighten the sweetness and spice. Serve with Caramelized Sweet Potatoes and Peaches.

1 29-ounce can peaches in heavy syrup (about 8 peach halves and 1 cup of syrup)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon Cognac
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

2 tablespoons coarsely chopped pistachio nuts

Steps:

  • Drain peaches, pouring syrup into a skillet. Place skillet over high heat. Cook until syrup is caramelized (thick and light golden brown), about 10 minutes, stirring gently toward end of cooking so caramel does not burn around edges.

  • Stir in Cognac and lemon juice. If mixture is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Cover, and refrigerate until serving.

Provided by LAURIE

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
1/2 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons melted margarine
4 peach halves in syrup

Steps:

  • Combine cornflakes, nuts, sugar and margarine.
  • Fill centers of each peach half.
  • Wrap tightly in aluminum foil.
  • Grill over med heat 10-15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm peaches for caramelizing. Avoid soft or bruised peaches, as they will not hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or saucepan for caramelizing the peaches. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the peaches from burning.
  • Add a small amount of butter or oil to the skillet before adding the peaches. This will help to prevent the peaches from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the peaches over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the peaches will not caramelize properly.
  • Cook the peaches until they are tender and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes. The peaches should be slightly browned and have a slightly sticky glaze.
  • Serve the caramelized peaches immediately, or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Caramelized peaches are a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed on their own, or used as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, or pancakes. They are also a great addition to fruit salads and cobblers. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make caramelized peaches at home.
