If you only have so many peaches, you can enjoy both textures with one batch. If you are going to reserve your peach preserves primarily for sandwiches or toast, I recommend you mash or puree your peaches so that your peach preserves spread easily on your bread or toast. I always make a chunky batch specifically for this reason. The other thing that is important to note is the texture you choose depends on what you’d like to do with your peach preserves, as well as your personal preference.įor instance, if you’d like to have spoonable chunky fruit over yogurt, ice cream, or waffles, definitely leave your peach preserves chunky. And since the skin is so thin, you don’t have to peel the peaches, unless you really feel the urge. They’re naturally sweeter and contain more juice. The key to this recipe is using very ripe peaches. Some recipes call for as much as four cups of sugar for four cups of fruit. I like this Instant Pot Peach Preserves recipe because it is very simple and easy to make, it doesn’t call for any strange ingredients, and it doesn’t contain as much sugar as other preserves or jam recipes. And if you’ve checked out my website’s name, you know how much I love toast! Initially, I was torn between making a peach buckle or peach ice cream but I decided to make and share my Instant Pot Peach Preserves instead.īesides, I was almost out of my apricot preserves and needed something tasty on my toast. There are so many things I can make with fresh peaches. Some of the peaches were very ripe and needed to be used right away. My neighbors kindly gifted me some fresh Carolina peaches when they returned from their vacation down in South Carolina. Pick up a jar of Supernatural sprinkles to make your baking a little more fun, and while you’re at it, check out their naturally colored food colors too.Ĭover photo ( Birthday Coffee Cake) by Rick Holbrook food styling by Kaitlin Wayne.A lightly sweetened refined sugar-free peach preserve consisting of fresh peaches, maple syrup, lemon juice, and vanilla – made simple in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. We’re declaring it now: Summer is the unofficial season of sprinkles. Or take a cue from Cupcake Season and garnish any of our recently debuted cupcake recipes - might I suggest Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes? - with a dash of color. You can turn a breakfast plate into a party with sprinkle-topped pancakes and waffles. Or go fully over-the-top with this Brownie Sundae Set, which not only comes with a sprinkle jar but also fudge brownie mix and a brownie bowl pan. Ice cream sandwiches coated in sprinkles are even better.īut why stop there? Maybe you want to make an old-fashioned ice cream sundae with homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, Hot Fudge Sauce, and a hefty shower of sprinkles.

But the lurid, artificially colored ones also come with preservatives and chemicals added to achieve their bright hue, which can put a damper on any party.Īs a result, I tend to favor naturally colored sprinkles - except most options just don't have the same vibrancy as their classic counterparts. Now, listen, I know that sprinkles, which are comprised almost entirely of sugar and wax, are never going to qualify as health food. It was the most birthday cake of all the birthday cakes I’ve ever made her, and it made us feel ten years old again (in the best way). When I recently mentioned sprinkles in the office, my colleagues wistfully reminisced about the post-baseball practice ice cream cones and birthday parties of their childhoods, all of which included a hefty dose of sprinkles.īut sprinkles aren't just for children: Last year, my sister requested I bake her a birthday cake, and her sole request was that it be covered in sprinkles.
