Peach Beehives

From cobblers to salads

from breads to ice cream,

the lovely summer peach

is such a  delight to use.

My family's all time favorite

summer peach recipe

is

Peach Beehives.

These little beehive replicas 

 

 are so easy to make

and so delicious.

A friend gave me this recipe

way back

in the mid 70's

and now it's a tradition

to enjoy this summer dessert. 

Each peach is wrapped in a narrow

strips of your favorite pie dough.
I had to use store bought this time.

 Leaving the skins on the peach  and starting

with the stem side down,

wrap the pie dough around and around

overlapping until the peach is covered.

 

Make sure the dough is

firm around the peach so all

that delicious peach juice doesn't

leak out.

 We always have to make

a few bees out of the leftover dough.

That's the fun part.

Bake at 375 degrees for 

30-40 minutes,

depending on the size of the peach,

or until lightly golden brown

on a baking sheet that's lightly

greased or on parchment paper. 

 

That's a brown bee on the top,
not a pecan!

We add a nutmeg sauce

which is made by:

creaming some butter ( 4T )

adding some vanilla (1 t.)

milk (1 T)

nutmeg

a pinch of salt

Confectioners Sugar ( 1 cup)

Make it what ever consistency you like and the

amounts might vary depending on

how many peaches you bake.

Serve warm, but not hot.  

Those peaches inside stay pretty hot.

Take a bite, 

close your eyes,

and

enjoy the last days of summer.
