Fresh Peach Fritters - How to Make the Best Peach Fritters - Food Wishes

[@JW-be8wf]

Chef John I have been following you since 2008. I was single back then, my waist was narrow and my mind was broad. I have tried dozens of your recipes and you have really helped me up my cooking game. Even to date every time there is a notification, I drop everything to watch your video. Gone are the days when I could eat like a pig and not gain a pound. Some of it I am blaming on you :) EDIT:In 2010 I married a girl who was rather quite impressed by my cooking skills. Chef John had a lot to do with that. She has bore me 2 wonderful daughters. Waist may not be narrow anymore. The back and neck may not be hairless anymore.But life is quite wonderful.

Are you complaining - or bragging? You are, after all, the Liza Minnelli - of your expanding belly. Ehhhn-joy! 😸

[@TheRationalPi]

I assume you aren't single anymore, thanks to all the cooking tips you learned from Chef John? Truly inspiring.

[@JW-be8wf]

@@TheStockwell Am I complaining or bragging? The answer is Yes :) Liza Minnelli and expanding belly sounds so much better than Andrew Tate and expanding waist. 😀 As always Ehnnnn-joy!!!!!!!

I just came home from the Farmer's wife fruit and veggie stand. I bought one gorgeous Peach that cost $1.50. I checked my phone and there you were making Peach fritters, 😲 OMG !! You are using only one peach, YAY So, what's for lunch today? That's right... HAPPY ME 🥰

[@GummyBearWA]

I worked at a bakery as the Fritter King. I made fritters out of everything I could find. I used natural juice over any liquids, but I did use a couple tablespoons of buttermilk.

Why

[@adisonharrell3886]

I just so happened to have literally every ingredient for this. I immediately got up and made these, and holy hell this was beyond amazing! Legitimately one of the best deserts I’ve ever had. The bourbon syrup is going to be going on so many things from now on as well!

[@HyperactiveNeuron]

I honestly don't think I've ever had a peach fritter. Apple fritters and i think even pineapple but now i desperately want to make this. Looks wonderful 😋

[@Starlysh]

I always make your apple fritters during the fall and they're amazing. I can't wait to make these - probably tonight!

[@PanzerBuyer]

what type of apples do you use?

[@momrebajane]

I'm buying peaches when I go shopping this weekend. As always thank you Chef John.

[@arienrhod4166]

I made these tonight along with the bourbon glaze and my family raved about how good they were! I had 7 small, fresh peaches left over from a recent trip to the farmers’ market so I doubled the recipe and it worked out great. Thank you, Chef John!

[@vickiepatterson1748]

The only way I could see this looking better is to serve with homemade peach ice cream! 😋 As much as I love apple fritters, I think I'm going to love these too! 😘 Thanks for sharing another great recipe!🤩

Just wanna say thanks for all these great recipes. You've never led me astray and you're a staple in our house

[@knowledgetracker]

Our peaches are so good here in Georgia that I can just take my fingers and pill the skin off and the juice is unbelievable. Yumbo!!! Making these tonight!

[@kennethcook9406]

Georgia peaches are legendary, but we do have a certain area in Colorado known for amazing peaches. Not trying to take your title, you grow FAR more than we do; but the area around the small western-slope town of Palisade, CO has the soil and climate to grow excellent peaches, which we are known for. Our real claims to fame are the Cantaloupe melons grown near the town of Rocky Ford, on the high plains east of Pueblo; and the Pueblo green chili pepper, which is the feisty brother to the New Mexico Hatch chili pepper.

[@knowledgetracker]

@@kennethcook9406 - I believe it. Actually, the pockets in Georgia that have good peaches are hard to come by these days. They don't grow as much as they used to. I've had some great peaches from different states. Can't wait to head out to that Palisade area in Colorado and try yours. When's the best time for those peaches? And the best time for the canteloupe and green chilis? Those sound great too!

[@kennethcook9406]

@@knowledgetracker Summer for everything. June through September. Although chili peppers can be grown indoors year-round. Also, you can get a Rocky Ford Cantaloupe at almost any Kroeger-affiliated store in the state (King Soopers, City Market)

[@knowledgetracker]

@@kennethcook9406 - cool! Thanks!

[@kennethcook9406]

@@knowledgetracker The eastern half of our state is considered as "high desert" so the area around Rocky Ford forces the cantaloupes to concentrate their sugar in the melons; while Palisade is in a strange intra-mountain area that creates a good climate for a lot of different fruit, including peaches, cherries, and wine grapes. In fact, if you can name a berry, we can probably grow it (or something like it) somewhere in Colorado. For example: the big juicy strawberries that are sold everywhere in every store, are total garbage when compared to the tiny wild mountain strawberries from an appropriate environment.

[@scotto9591]

That looks delicious 🤤. You could probably use plums or nectarines as well. I think it would go with some fresh firm pears.

[@jeanniebrooks]

Yeah, but the peaches have that unique thicker syrup they exude when you add sugar, and you need that to make this work, just like some fruits have pectin, some don’t.

[@LiveLNXgaming]

I just made these. My God. They are amazing. Absolutely eat these with the syrup and ice-cream

[@revsoto]

Happened to be gifted a box of peaches shortly after watching your video! We quickly got to frying; thank you for the recipe!

[@jeanniebrooks]

These peach fritters sound so awesome, and it’s peak peach season now! I think I like your bourbon simple syrup, but for simplicity (that means cutting corners) I think I’ll try it with maple syrup or hot honey simple syrup (just dilute the hot honey with a little water just to make it thinner.) Honey on vanilla ice cream is awesome, but I’ve never tried the hot kind. Thanks again Chef John! This is a good one.

[@tmcdowell5986]

You have provided me with the answer to one of my life's yearning, a better peach fritter. Gracias

[@wreckoningday]

There's a place near me that makes really great fritters, these are on par with those and maybe even better. This one will go in the recipe box. Thanks Chef John!

[@kinzokusama]

Curious, can you do this with other fleshy fruits like apples? Im not a big fan of peaches but have some gorgeous apples at the market this week and have been having a craving for something different than a pie or crumble.

[@1230mkelly]

Yep! I would just buy the sun dried versions from Costco.

[@allenarcher]

I wonder if any easily macerated fruit would work well. Like strawberries.

[@Starlysh]

Chef John has an apple fritters recipe video, too!

[@ShovelChef]

I'd be curious to know how this turns out, because the textures are so different. You may want to play around with baking or stewing the apples for half the time before deep frying.

[@LeesaDeAndrea]

That looks like a prize-winning recipe!

Dude! As per usual, you're recipe is spot-on and yummy! I doubled this batch and was a little nervous that it was too dry. You're a wonderful host because you said it would look dry, so I kept the faith. The batter came together just like you said it would. These were really, really good! The Burbon syrup is a really nice touch too! Thanks! You are, you have been, and continue to be our family's favorite recipe author!

[@xxPenjoxx]

When i was on holiday in Japan, i found a popular drink in the vending machines that was simply called 'Peach Nectar' it was the best peach juice i had there. So sweet and tasty. I brought some back and made jelly (Jello in US) with it. If i had some left, I'd try adding it to make batter 😊

[@adamoliver2643]

You can get peach nectar in the US, check the Hispanic isle of your local super market. Its basically just heavily sweetened peach juice.

[@xxPenjoxx]

@adamoliver2643 ooh nice, I always look for it in the Asian supermarket. I don't think we have a Hispanic market near me (I'm in Scotland) but I'll look into it, thank you.

[@LindaC616]

​@xxPenjoxx yep, Goya should have it. Pear, as well. How close are you to Aberdeen? I'm guessing shops are a bit more international there

[@PhrenicosmicOntogeny]

I think I'd drizzle over a little bourbon white chocolate sauce with these. I bet that would be a great mix.

Instead of wasting cling wrap I would have just set a dinner plate or large lid over it. Works just as well.

Think this would work with a little buttermilk added to loosen the batter and make peach fritter pancakes?

[@phishtacosfishingandstuff2677]

So enjoy your dad humor.

[@AaronSegura]

Speaking as an ex Baskin Robbins employee, you should dip your scoop into water before scooping your ice cream. The temperature doesn't help as much as the scoop being wet.

[@glennzanotti3346]

Can you use fresh peaches that are on the "extra firm" side? That seems to be all I can find in grocery stores. The one you were peeling looked pretty firm.

[@jamesc8259]

Put them on a windowsill or kitchen counter to ripen a bit more. But I would think you can still use them. The sugar should soften them up. I think it breaks down the cellular structure as it draws the juice from them.

[@lordgarion514]

Absolutely. Just taste them. If they aren't that sweet, add a bit more sugar.

[@wildshadowstar]

Would nectarines work just as well? I got some yesterday when they were on sale at Kroger.

[@rossf8616]

Is there an air fryer or oven-friendly version of this recipe? I'd love to try a (if only slightly) more healthy version of this recipe. :-)

[@richardprescott6322]

I have never heard of this -never thought of it - im English - i dont have a sweet tooth but this looks fun and tasty. Im also thinking some roast duck rather ice cream

[@davidblalock9945]

The truth about deep frying: if there’s plenty of bubbles, what you’re cooking is not absorbing oil. It can’t absorb oil while it’s steaming off.

[@lordgarion514]

Not quite how that works. Solid food doesn't absorb much oil, but any coating you put on it absolutely does. It does not matter if you remove a battered/breaded item before it finishes cooking,(and before the bubbles slow down), the coating will still be oily, because it absorbs oil. The air fryer commercials leave out the fact that you can't put breaded or battered items in it. Air fryer commercials only tell you the difference between a coated deep fried item, and an uncoated air fried item

[@loggrad9842]

Came for the surp, wasn't disappointed.

[@ellieramseyer2291]

I bet this would be amazing with a creme anglaise
