Recipes for Delicious Peach Desserts: Elegant Peach-Filled Torte and Fresh Peach Melbas

Peaches have always been one of my favorite fruits.  And to me the juicier the better.  As a kid, I loved peaches from my grandparents trees even though my mother hated them dripping down my arms and off my elbows!  I am a grandmother of seven now and I still love peaches today.  Here are a couple of my favorite peach recipes.  Elegant Peach-Filled Torte and Fresh Peach Melbas.

ELEGANT PEACH-FILLED TORTE
3 cups cake flour, sifted
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup shortening
1 egg, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with shortening; set aside.

Combine the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Add the shortening to the flour mixture and blend until crumbly. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture.

Combine the egg, buttermilk, and baking soda. Add the blended egg mixture to the remaining flour mixture; stir well. Pour mixture evenly into the prepared pans. Add the pecans to the reserved crumb mixture and sprinkle evenly over the tops of the two pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Creamy Peach Filling:

1 cup whipping cream, whipped
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 cup mashed peaches
2 tbsp sugar

Combine all ingredients and place between the two torte layers. Garnish with sliced peaches and serve immediately.

MY FAVORITE FRESH PEACH MELBAS
 
1 pkg (10-oz) frozen red raspberries in syrup, thawed
1/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp water
2 ripe peaches, halved
1 pint peach sorbet
1/2 pint raspberry sorbet
fresh red raspberries for garnish, if desired

In a blender, puree the package of raspberries. Scrape through a fine sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds.

In a small nonstick skillet, combine the sugar and water and heat over medium heat. When the sugar is dissolved and mixture starts to boil, add peaches, cut side down. Continue to boil until sugar mixture starts to caramelize and turn brown, about 5 to 6 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally. Remove from heat; carefully turn the peaches over and spoon the caramel mixture from the skillet over the cut sides.

Place a scoop of peach sorbet into each of 4 dessert bowls. Nestle a peach half, cut side up, onto the sorbet. Place a mini-scoop of raspberry sorbet in the center of the peach halves. Garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.

Enjoy!

Where to find peach sheets for a full bed?

I am having the hardest time getting my hands on a set of peach sheets for a full bed. Does anyone know where to find them?? It just doesn't seem to be a color that's very popular right now. There's a lot of marigold and kind of a burnt pumpkin color, but I'm looking for something that's pale and a true peach, not yellowish.

Preferably with some polyester in them so they won't wrinkle terribly, and less than $100, but at this point those are both negotiable.

Any ideas??

try any department stores (jcp, belk, dillards, macys, etc . . .)
maybe walmart, kmart, target etc. . . .
best place to look would probably be bed bath and beyond or plejs.
or any store like the above depending on where you live
