S'MEACHES, REVISITED

I'm so honored that S'Meaches has been nominated for Best Food Video of the Year by Saveur Magazine.  Here it is, reposted for your viewing pleasure.  Please vote here!


I recently toasted up a batch of my old favorite, S'Meaches and thought it was time for a new recipe video!





Fire is such a wonderful, transformative thing. At first glance, singeing something as perfect as a ripe summer peach seems sacrilege, but then you taste it, and then you add a marshmallow because why the hell not. The burnt sugar with a hint of spice, the acid of the yellow peach against the saccharine marshmallow, it all works somehow and is my new campfire favorite. Smeaches. Smores + peaches. It's a pretty obvious pun, so you probably didn't need that explained, but whatever, smeaches it is. Enjoy!

1 peach, sliced into 6-8 slices and halved horizontally
6-8 marshmallows
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Graham Crackers

Mix the cayenne and sugar, and toss the peaches in it. Put a bottom half of a peach slice on a stick, add the marshmallow, then the other half of peach. Toast over a medium-low flame until caramelized and browned. Enjoy!

Thanks so much everyone! S'Meaches are definitely a favorite :) They're great with bananas and chocolate instead too, if you're into that.

No chocolate? Still looks amazing. Going to try it maybe later tonight! Cannot wait to try the cayanne pepper with it. I bet it will be subtle yet still tasteful. Yummmm! Good work.

I tried this last night with the friends and family. I loved the caramel flavor of the cooked peach. We decided not to use the cayenne pepper, and the dessert still was phenomenal.

Then we felt experimental, and made Smananas. Such a treat.

Oh, and then we spent the night entertaining ourselves brainstorming with clever fruit and s'more food combinations names. (Smangoes= s'mores and mangoes)

Great work! Thanks for the recipe.
