It wasn’t like the first version was horrible to eat. It
wasn’t, but the cooked, sweetened cream, sort of fought with the peaches, both texturally, and with the natural sweetness of the fruit. The lemon didn’t help
things either, but at least I was able to appreciate the real one I made after
coming to my senses.
As usual, I’ve listed the amounts I used below, but you
should adjust the sugar syrup depending on the sweetness of your peaches. If
they’re amazingly sweet and juicy, just slice them, and cream them up.
Otherwise, modify as needed, but either way, I really do hope you give peaches
and cream, the classic version, a try soon. Enjoy!
Ingredients for 4 portions:

I'm really confused... The video says 2 parts sugar to one part water, but the recipe says 1/3 cup sugar to 1/4 cup water, which is not the same as 2:1...
Hey Chef John! I'm a big fan, and some of your recipes are working their way into my family's weekly menus on a regular basis (hello smashed cucumber salad!)
Anyway... I have a particular ingredient I'm wondering if you can help me with: carrot tops.
I'm growing carrots this year, and "the internet" says those bushy tops are edible! But the only recipes I can find are pesto and chimichuri. Which says to me "well... it's technically edible... but not really.
I grew up eating beet tops (steamed, served with red wine vinegar and salt) and... that's good earing. But what about carrot tops? Can we do them?
And I'm totally trying peaches and cream when peach season comes in a couple weeks in Ontario.
Hay chief john can i substitute nectarines. I am allergic to peaches?

Wow no comments yet? I can't wait to try this.
Hi, can i substitute nectarines for preaches?
I'm definitely going to make this for my wife! She's a huge peach lover!
I'm not really a fan of peaches myself. Could you do this with other fruit? Would there be a change in technique or recipe amounts? Thank you!
I would lkke to use creme fraiche for this. Would you think the slightly sour taste of it would throw the taste off too much? I've always got some in the house.
I made the traditional version of this recipe. I think the 2:1.5 ratio of peaches to cream is WAY too cream heavy. I'd start by adding just 1 cup of cream maybe, and add more as required. I also found the taste of just the plain cream a little weird, so I added a bit of sugar and vanilla to the cream and then it was perfrect!
This is one of many of your recipes that I have made and once again, absolutely delicious! I must say that you have made me a better home cook and I think, the reason that I am married to a wonderful (and very hungry) man! I am eternally grateful!
This was the first time I ever made this and it was heavenly.
Thank you Chef John...now I can impress my family and friends with another of your delightful recipes.
This was as good as having peach ice-cream. Omg, yummy!
I made this with chantilly cream is amazing
