Every recipe that involves "cold fresh water" I get more and more worried I'm never going to find a use for the hot, old water I've been saving.

The fact that Chef John isn't afraid of showing his mistakes is one of the reasons I enjoy this channel so much. It shows that even actual chefs can fail in the kitchen and that you shouldn't be afraid to try new things.

😂😂 As a young kid, I always had my version of "peaches and cream" made with canned peaches and evaporated milk. Put them in a old clean mayo jar. Shake. Let it get cold. Pour over a bowl of Capt crunch. Eat while watching mystery theater 3000. Those was the days. 😎🤗🤗😎

[@maddikitten1306]

What my grandma has done for me over the years is this. And it makes a great treat as well and is a but more on the cold side. Peel and slice the peaches the way you do here, but instead of cooking she does this. Put the peaches into a microwave safe freezer bag with a bit of water and sugar, shake, and then freeze the Peach mixture until the syrup is ever so slightly thicker. When ready to use, Thaw the peaches in the microwave for about a two minutes each or until you have a slightly slushy texture. Or whatever you prefer. Spoon the peaches and however much syrup you want into a bowl and add heavy cream. By the time you've finished the peaches, the heavy cream is whipped up just enough to make a light whip and to me it's very good!

[@emmaociee]

You are, afterall, the overused meme of your peaches and cream.

I remember eating a lot of super sweet peaches when I was little. Not so much in the last few years though.

[@MYERZ08]

That's because your tastebuds deteriorate with age

[@gasfiltered]

Peaches have been industrialized in the same way as tomatoes. They've been bred for faster, more productive growing, losing a lot of variety and flavor all in the name of satisfying the shareholders. If you can manage it at all, buying local and small will usually get you better food.

[@tasadem20]

[@angelahopson3160]

Thanks for showing your mistake. I am a reasonably proficient home cook and enjoy your videos. I have used some of your recipes and found them to work beautifully. I often make mistakes and always learn from them or realize where a recipe needs to be adapted to my taste. I would have whipped the cream before adding to the peaches -- but I like whipped cream. Often make berry fools and would have been tempted to do the same with the peaches. It is now peach time in Oregon so I will try your recipe with plain cream. It reminds me of my grandparents application of their home grown cream which was globbed on tea and fruit. That cream was so thick a spoon would stand up.

[@IAmValenwind]

growing up, i had this little dwarf peach tree in my front yard, but it gave enough peaches to last the whole block all summer long. my grandfather always made me peaches and cream, but he did it differently: in this order: get a bowl of vanilla ice cream, and sit it on the counter. take a "medium-sized" fresh peach (i.e. the biggest damn peach you can find in the store that is both very aromatic and has a little give when you put pressure on it... yes, use the whole peach... no, you don't have to eat it all now) and slice it up- the ice cream should be a little soft when you're done... pour in a splash of milk, dust with white sugar. spoon it with a little milk, ice cream, peach, and sugar in each bite... put the inevitable leftovers in the fridge for later, where it will just improve over the span of the evening the milk makes it less super-sweet, smoother, and more creamy, the sugar crystallizes into chunks with the flavor of the vanilla and peach so it's a bit like rock candy not sayin' chef john is wrong... but this is the peaches and cream i grew up on
