Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 small ripe peaches, washed and dried
1 9", pre-made, refrigerated pie crust
HARD SAUCE:
1/4 c butter
1/2 c confectioner's sugar, divided usage
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground allspice [optional, or use just a pinch]
1 pinch salt
1/4 c heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease the bottom of a small, shallow baking pan.
  • 2. Unroll the prepared pie crust onto a lightly foured surface. Cut crust into 1/2" wide strips. Place a peach stem side down, and wrap strips of dough, overlapping edges of rows, all the way around the peach, so that it's completely covered. Hint" to make this easier, just 'twirl' the peach while holding the pastry in place, and overlap the rows. When completely wrapped, the upside-down peach resembles a little beehive. Make sure the entire peach is covered and well-sealed inside the crust strips. Repeat this process with the other three peaches. Place them in your prepared baking pan.
  • 3. Bake peaches in preheated oven until crust turns golden brown, about 35 - 40 minutes.
  • 4. While the peaches are baking, cream the butter with 1/4 cup of the confectioner's sugar. Cream it 'til it's light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract, allspice, salt and heavy cream until it's all well-blended. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of confectioner's sugar.
  • 5. To serve, place baked beehives in individual serving bowls. Spoon the hard sauce over each beehive. When it is split open, the pit should fall out very easily. Discard it, and enjoy the fresh peach flesh inside the beehive!

Beehives image

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 extra-large perfect peaches
1 double recipe of pie crust
------------------------------
HARD SAUCE:
4 tablespoons sweet butter
1 unbeaten egg
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 nutmeg
1 tablespoon brandy

Steps:

  • Roll pie crust into an oblong shape and cut strips 1-inch wide. Wash and dry 8 extra-large, perfect peaches. They must be perfect. Wrap the strips of pie crust around starting from the bottom until the peach is entirely covered. Pat and patch the crust as you go along so there are no holes. Seal the edges. Place "beehives" on a cookie sheet and bake for 40 minutes at 400°. Serve hot with hard sauce. To eat: Break the "beehive" in half, remove the stone, and spoon a heaping tablespoon of hard sauce into the cavity. The peach skin has disappeared! What an absolutely divine dessert! Hard Sauce: Cream butter. Add egg and mix well. Gradually work in 2 cups or more powdered sugar. The definite amount of sugar you add will depend upon whether you like tight or not-so-tight hard sauce. Flavor with brandy. Pile sauce into peach cavity and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Tips:

  • For the perfect peach filling, use ripe, juicy peaches. If your peaches are not ripe enough, you can speed up the ripening process by placing them in a paper bag with a banana or an apple.
  • If you don't have a pastry bag, you can use a resealable plastic bag with the corner snipped off.
  • To prevent the peach filling from leaking out of the beehives, make sure to seal the edges of the pastry dough well.
  • Bake the beehives until the pastry is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling.
  • Serve the peach beehives warm with a scoop of hard sauce or vanilla ice cream.

Conclusion:

Peach beehives are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their flaky pastry, sweet peach filling, and creamy hard sauce, these beehives are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give peach beehives a try. You won't be disappointed!
