Nothing But Blue Skies
After the meeting of another grueling deadline I headed to the farm for some puppy therapy. Mura and Dag the farm dogs had nine puppies eight weeks ago and they are ready to play! The farm had a Colorado (mostly) organic spaghetti dinner to raise money for the education programs. The main attraction was the puppies, but there were also hayrides, cattail mazes, and homemade plum ice cream. I volunteered to bring one of a dozen peach custards for the feast. Today’s Lunch
Peach Custard
6 peaches
4 eggs
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp flour
1 tbsp melted butter
Peel the peaches and bake them for 30 minutes at 350 degrees in a 9- by 13-inch pan. Drain the liquid and place in a small saucepan. Bring the juice to a gentle boil and for ten minutes to concentrate. Allow to cool. Make the custard by beating together the peach juice, 4 eggs, flour and butter. Pour the custard over the peaches and bake for thirty minutes.
