I was kindly asked again by the Downtown SLC Farmers Market to come up with a peach recipe for their upcoming newsletter, I didn’t even have to think twice about this one. The mister and I have been enjoying this smoothie for the last couple of weeks. It’s a great treat to have after the market on Saturday afternoon with lunch. I am trying to eat as many peaches as I can right now before there gone, I highly recommend you do the same! See you at the market on Saturday.

Every year around my birthday I pick a day in the kitchen that is totally for me. You are probably thinking “isn’t that everyday?” I wish, most of the time I’m working on recipes for a class, getting our meals prepped for the week, planning for a get together or like this week, getting us ready for our annual friend camping trip to Blue Lake.

Yesterday was that day, what I wanted to eat, what sounded good to me. I follow the Sprouted Kitchen on Instagram and last week she posted a Peach Tart and I thought “that looks so fresh and healthy, note to self- make this!” Lucky for me I was gifted plums this weekend at our Downtown Farmers Market and remembered my note to self, “make the tart!”, so that’s just what I did on my special day in the kitchen. I kept some things the same but added a bit of my own, I love the way it turned out.

My birthday wish to all of you is that you have your own special day in the kitchen to make what ever you want, maybe this tart will be on your list. If you want to see what I made all day follow me on Instagram @cosmohippiechef.

Here’s what I did on my special day last year.

DSCN3159

Food:

Birthday Plum Peach Tart w/Lemon Honey Glaze– serves 8

(politely borrowed and inspired by Sprouted Kitchen)

Crust:

9 pitted dates

1 c. toasted pecans

1 cup almond meal

2 tsp. coconut oil

1 tsp. cinnamon

pinch of salt

1. Mix all the ingredients in the food processor until well mixed and when pressed together between your fingers it sticks, if not add 1 T. water at a time until desired consistency is reached. Press this mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch spring form pan. Place the crust in the fridge while you work on the rest.

DSCN3162Filling:

1 c. cashews, soaked overnight, drained and rinsed

2 T. pure maple syrup

3 T. water

1/4 tsp. orange blossom water-TOTALLY OPTIONAL

1 T. vanilla

pinch salt

1. Place all of the ingredients into the food processor, process until really smooth. Spread this mixture over the crust.

Fruit:

4-5 plums (Farmers Market), sliced

2-3 peaches (Farmers Market), sliced

2. I laid the peaches on the outer ring of the tart and then filled in the rest of the tart with the plums.

Glaze:

2 T. fresh lemon juice

2 T. honey (Farmers Market)

3. Lightly heat the lemon and honey in a small sauce pan until well combined, with a pastry brush distribute the glaze over the tart (you may not use all of it). Place in the fridge for a few hours and then EAT! I served mine with some crunchy candied almonds I had in the pantry (the added crunch is a welcome surprise, a tip from Sprouted Kitchen).

Well, I think it is safe to say it is summer! My lack of posting recipes is beacuse I am busy having lots of fun (follow me on intstagram @cosmohippiechef for extra food pics and adventures). Time to break out your ice cream makers and get busy making homemade ice cream, like this Peach Honey Coconut. You are probably thinking peaches? I haven’t seen peaches at the farmers market yet? You are right, I used my canned peaches that I canned last summer. After taking inventory of my canning pantry I realized I need to start using up those goodies I spent all that time last summer preserving. So I started with my canned peaches, this ice cream is creamy and lightly sweetened with local honey. This recipe makes a lot of ice cream so you’ll be stocked up for a while. One of my most important tips is, make sure the liquid mixture is cold before you pour it into the ice cream machine! You are ready to rock and roll, hurry and make a batch of this and then get back to soaking up summer. Enjoy!

Food:

Peach Honey Coconut Ice Cream- makes a lot!

2 c. whole milk (organic)

1 c. canned coconut milk (full fat)

1 quart size canned peaches, liquid drained

3/4 c. honey (local, I use Clifford Family Farms and I get it at the farmers market)

2 eggs, (local, I use Clifford Family Farms and I get it at the farmers market)

juice of one lemon

pinch of salt (I like Real Salt, local or Celtic Gray Salt)

Directions:

1. Using your standing mixer, crack and beat the two eggs until creamy and the color has changed to a lemony pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Turn the mixer down and add the honey slowly, it will stick to the sides so turn the mixer off and scrape down the sides and mix again.

2. Next, with the mixer on low add the whole milk and coconut milk. Add the lemon juice and a healthy pinch of salt.

3. Pour the drained peaches into food processor and pulse them down until they are saucy and no longer have any chunks. Add the pureed peaches to the milk mixture, stir to combine.

4. Place this mixture into the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours, this step is very important. You want your mixture to be very cold when adding it to the ice cream machine. I had to process mine in two batches, I have made the mistake of poring it all in at once and had major spillage!

5. Process according to your manufactures directions. Freeze for a couple of hours and then EAT!

*optional- I toasted unsweetened coconut flakes in a dry saute pan until lightly toasted and fragrant. Sprinkle on top of your ice cream.
