Best 4 Jean Halberstams Deep Fried Peaches Recipes

CARAMELIZED SKILLET PEACHES

Steps:

• Wash and dry peaches. Cut them in half, remove the pit, and slice peach halves into 1/2-inch/about 1.5 cm thick wedges. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add peach slices in a single layer, honey, and rosemary. Cook to caramelize, occasionally stirring, for about 7 to 9 minutes.
• Let buttery peaches cool down before eating so as not to burn your mouth. Then, serve warm peaches in a frying pan or on a plate, with their caramel sauce, aside with vanilla ice cream.

SOUTHERN FRIED PEACHES

Steps:

• Peel and halve peaches.
• Melt butter in skillet.
• Place cut side down in skillet.
• When edges are browned, turn over.
• Sprinkle with half the sugars and allow other side to brown.
• Turn once more and sprinkle with remaining sugars.
• Cook until sugars caramelize slightly, turning peaches to coat.
• Serve as is or top with whipped cream and chopped pecans.

PANKO-FRIED PEACHES

Steps:

• Pour the oil to a depth of at least 3 inches into a deep-fryer, wok, or deep, heavy saucepan and heat to 300°F.
• Meanwhile, cut the peaches into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Spread the flour on a plate and spread the panko on a second plate.
• When the oil is ready, using chopsticks or tongs, dredge a peach slice in the flour, shaking off the excess, and then dip in the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Finally, dredge the slice in the panko, covering it as evenly as possible with the light flakes.
• Carefully place the peach slice in the hot oil. It should immediately begin to bubble and hiss. While the first slice is cooking, continue to dredge and dip more slices in the flour, egg, and panko and add them to the oil. Fry no more than 3 or 4 slices at a time, making sure they do not touch one another, for about 1 minute, until evenly golden. Using a wire skimmer, transfer the finished slices to a wire rack set over a shallow bowl or pan to drain briefly. Serve piping hot.
