Iced peaches

Author Notes

In my research about Frank Waugh, a professor of landscape gardening for 40 years, I have come across several recipes he includes at the end of his fruit books. Many of the recipes he attributes to Miss Farmer or Mrs. Rorer, but this one appears without any other attributes. Since I need to get my research back on track, I thought it would be fun to include some of these interesting recipes. This one was included in The American Peach Orchard from 1915. Waugh notes the Waddell or Late Crawford varieties among the best peaches. For this recipe Waugh tells us that any good peach will do. I am suggesting a very light dipping in sugar and adding the herbal garnish with cinnamon. Interesting that the sugar is not added into the egg whites in this recipe. It is fun to do the dipping. I like the crunch of the granulated sugar, but you could do these with powdered sugar as well. —Sagegreen
