PEACH BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lay the baguette pieces in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush both sides with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil and bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, toss together the peaches, basil, salt and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Whisk together the honey, vinegar and hot sauce in a small bowl, adding more hot sauce to taste.
• To build the bruschetta, start with a piece of baguette, spread with the goat cheese, spoon on some peaches and top with the hot honey.

HOT PEACHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Toss the peaches in the sugar mixture until generously coated. Leave them in the mixture.
• In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the peaches and fry on each side for 1 to 2 minutes, or until softened slightly. Pour the schnapps into the skillet and lightly stir the peaches around to absorb some of the flavor. Light the schnapps on fire. It should flame off quickly.
• Remove from the heat. Place the peaches over ice cream and drizzle with the remaining sauce from the skillet. Serve immediately.
