Infused with lemon and thyme, cling stone peaches make a great filling for soft buckwheat crepes \u2013 a comforting gluten-free dessert or vegan breakfast that is low in sugar to warm you up from the inside out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time of the year, though much of a winter wonderland, the Canadian weather portrays a pretty hostile picture at times \u2013 not as peachy as we would like it to be. Stormy with freezing rain, heavy snow or just glacial with sub-zero temperatures \u2013 long story short, we are more often than not staying indoors, except for the necessary grocery trips. Hence, my pantry is more or less stashed with a little more than the basics \u2013 with dried and canned foodstuffs \u2013 to brace ourselves for any eventual snowy icy conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many companies now have BPA-free cans which give me the assurance that I can still enjoy the convenience they pose. Frozen food also definitely helps. However, for many foods, I find the canned version to yield a texture closer to the fresh counterparts. And this holds true for a lot of fruits; peaches are one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peaches are the one fruit that I relish their canned version, especially the cling stone variety. The California cling stone peaches<\/a> are the ones that are more commonly available in Canada. Cling stone peaches are rarely sold fresh in the stores as their stones are so well attached to the flesh that they require mechanical methods to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is reassuring to know that California cling stone peaches are canned in their own juice or other fruit juices and contain no preservatives \u2013 a sweet convenience that means we get to enjoy fruity desserts, breakfasts or snacks during the winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to fresh peaches, canned peaches retain their appearance, texture, flavour as well as nutritional content when incorporated in cooked recipes. They are also relatively much lower in sugar content<\/a> compared to other fruits. If you are watching your sugar intake or are diabetic, some peach puree can naturally sweeten many of your sweet treats and baked goods. Peaches will make an excellent substitute for the mango puree in this sugar-free gluten-free oats muffin recipe<\/a> when mangoes are out of season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re like me, you probably just enjoy these peaches straight out of the can. Some deeper aromatic notes, however, can really bring out the best in them. All you need is some thick gorgeous slices, fresh (or dried) thyme, a hint of lemon juice and a good drizzle of maple syrup. Saut\u00e9 in a dry skillet on high heat to quickly evaporate the juices. There is something about the thyme and peaches that is refreshingly invigorating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuck these thyme-infused peaches inside soft folds of buckwheat crepes and you\u2019ll be conquered. An optional drizzle of rose water custard sauce (recipe coming soon on the blog) makes these filled crepes exceptionally moreish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a bite and it will feel like a \u201cdepartment store of flavours\u201d. I\u2019ve borrowed this line from an anime that I am currently watching entitled \u201cToriko<\/a>\u201d which is pretty hilarious. It revolves around food, although not all vegan, but it\u2019s the kind of weird that\u2019s fascinating, full of humour and adventure. If you like One Piece and Dragon Ball Z, you\u2019ll probably like this one too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
