This week's SMS recipe, Peach Muffins, was chosen by JoVonn of The Givens Chronicle. You can find the recipe for Peach Muffins HERE. Don't forget to check out the SMS blog roll.
After my hectic baking marathon for the State Fair, I wanted to take a small break from baking (a VERY small break, mind you!). A few days ago I did buy peaches with the intention to bake peach muffins but today was one of those days where I wanted to take it easy and not do much. Since I hate to throw away food, I had to do something with the peaches before they went bad. The Sweet Melissa Baking Book came to the rescue. I decided to make half a batch of Cinnamon Peach Jam. It's delicious! I'm sure these preserves would have tasted great on peach muffins!

I think I prefer jam over muffins so I like what you did here. As for the cake, I'm not sure what the name of the pastry chef is but it is wh ever works at the Four Seasons. Thanks for your sweet comment.

ReplyDeleteYum, that looks great! What a perfect way to utilize the peaches. I'm planning on taking advantage of the extra day off this weekend and doing some canning. I was thinking of making the plum raspberry from the Sweet Melissa book. I just sent you an email about the tres leches cake.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the combination of peaches and cinnamon sounds so delicious! Glad you found a way to use the peaches even if it wasn't in the muffins :)
