PEACH BUTTERMILK MILK SHAKE
There is nothing like biting into a sweet, juicy, yellow, Jersey peach. It brings back such wonderful memories of my childhood. When I take my first bite, and the juices start rolling down my chin, I am reminded of summer days of childhood long gone by. Running around outside in bare feet, through my dad's garden, with the dust kicking up and getting your feet covered in dirt, and getting so thirsty, that even a drink of water would not quench the thirst. But I knew that a juicy peach would, and it would be much sweeter and taste much better than a glass of water. How I miss those days! But back to the present.
Peaches are still a good choice in the summer, giving you natural sugar, and fiber, and let's face it. Nothing is quite as good as a peach milkshake or peach smoothie. New Jersey is a big producer of this beautiful, sweet fruit, and in the month of August, they are out there in abundance at all of your local produce stands.
This recipe that I am going to share with you, is a little twist on the classic peach milkshake. It is not as sweet as a traditional peach shake, due to the addition of buttermilk rather than regular milk. I think it is a nice refreshing change, and I think you will enjoy it. Especially on a hot summer day.
Peach Buttermilk Milk Shake:
1 cup of buttermilk - 3 cups of fresh or frozen unsweetened peaches, sliced - 1 cup of homemade or Breyers vanilla ice cream - 1/4 to 1/3 cup of sugar - 3/4 tsp. of cinnamon
Put all in blender and blend until smooth. Top with whipped cream and a cherry if you choose.
