Microwave Baked Peaches Food

BAKED PEACHES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9x9-inch or similarly sized baking dish that's large enough to hold the peach halves in a single layer with nonstick spray. Pick a dish that's sized to where your peaches fit comfortably side by side, but there isn't too much excess room around them. Arrange peaches cut-side up in the dish.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the oil, maple syrup, brandy, coconut sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Spoon the mixture over the peaches, filling the center and letting it run over the sides.
• Bake peaches, uncovered, until the peaches are cooked through and fork-tender, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, Greek yogurt, or a pour of heavy cream, as desired.

MICROWAVE PEACH JAM

Steps:

• Mash peaches with a potato masher.
• Combine peaches with pectin, sugar, ascorbic acid, and lemon juice, if desired, in a deep 2-quart casserole.
• Cover and microwave 3 to 4 minutes or until mixture boils 1 minute.
• Remove from microwave, continue to stir 2 minutes.
• Pour into freezer containers; cover and freeze.
• To serve, let jam thaw in refrigerator.
• Store jam in freezer up to 1 year, or in refrigerator up to 1 month.
• Yield: 2 half pints (about 14 calories per tablespoon).

MICROWAVE PEACH CRISP

Steps:

• Place peaches in a square 8 X 8 X 2 microwave safe dish.
• Mix remaining ingredients until crumbly and then sprinkle over the peaches.
• Microwave uncovered on 100% power for 6 minutes. Rotate dish 1/2 turn.
• Continue to microwave uncovered until peaches are tender, 4-6 minutes longer.

PEACH OATMEAL

Steps:

• Cut up peach slices into small pieces.
• In a bowl add oats, water, and peaches with juice.
• Microwave in 500watt microwave for 2 minutes, stir, microwave for another 2 minutes, stir, then microwave in 1 minute intervals until cooked. In a 1200watt microwave, microwave for 30 seconds, stir, microwave for another 30 seconds, stir, and then continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until cooked.
• Once cooked, add cinnamon, butterscotch extract, and sweetener.
• NOTE: This serving seems small since it is only 1/4 cup of oats, but with the addition of peaches, it is quite filling, especially when served with a glass of milk; Feel free however, to increase one serving size to double this amount for a very hearty breakfast.
