Cinnamon Spiced Peaches (1 Pt)

Submitted by ladypit

"I came across this recipe in a Weight Watcher's cookbook while looking for a shrimp recipe. It sounded so good I immediately decided that it would be a side dish for tonight! Really fast, easy, and tasty. The kids loved it. For peach nectar I drained a can of peaches in their own juice and used the juice for this recipe. (And then packed the canned peaches for lunches!)"

This was very tasty and very easy. Based on the reviews i cut the brown sugar in half, which was just perfect for me, but dh thought it needed more sugar. My dd, who rarely will eat fruit, had two helpings! I definitely think it would be awesome on ice cream!

Mmmmm yum! I've had peaches similar to this before, but without the cranberries. The berries add a nice tart accent to the super-sweetness of the peaches. Excellent combination, Jen--thanks!

Had a bunch of fresh Chilean peaches that were not quite tasty enough to eat fresh. Came upon this and decided it might be a good use and was thrilled with the results. I wanted lots of sauce so I added 2 tablespoons of water along with the peach nectar. They were just wonderful alone or on top of some home made nonfat peach yogurt. Initially considered golden raisins instead of cranberries, but the cranberries turned out to be such a nice complement. Can't wait to serve the leftovers on top of my moring oatmeal. Thanks ladypit!

This was a nice simple dessert. I used fresh peaches that I didn't bother to peel (added fiber) and subbed fresh squeezed OJ for the peach nectar (to reduce the sugar content slightly). A scoop of vanilla ice cream would make this heavenly.
