more like a dessert than a meal. I cooked this one for german style dinner party. It was one of the better dishes on the evening. I ended up using canned peach halves as peaches were not in season here at the moment. It worked well, but possibly lost something along the way.

WOW! Were these a treat! Since I had today off I thought I'd tackle these bad boys. They took a good deal of time to make, but were worth it in the end. The only change I made was using canned whole peaches because there were not peaches in the market right now. I'm not sure how much that changed the outcome except there was obivously no pit. I served these as a dessert tonight with some ice cream on the side. Since there are only two of us here I frozen the rest for a later day. Very diffrent, but excellent recipe. Made for PAC 07.
