U Cook Across the U.S.! Join host Carrie Shankweiler as she teaches you a classic southern dessert -- Peach Melba! An ATV fan from Georgia says it's her favorite, so let's give it a try!

MATERIALS

3 or 4 ripe peaches
1 pint vanilla ice cream
12-ounce package of frozen raspberries, not in syrup
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup water

TOOLS

Blender
Mixing bowls
Fine mesh sieve
Large spoon
Small heavy sauce pan

REMEMBER THAT IT’S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS COOK UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION. SOMETIMES WE USE OBJECTS THAT COULD BE HARMFUL, LIKE A KNIFE, SO DON’T EVER ATTEMPT TO DO THESE RECIPES ALONE.

  1. Place your frozen raspberries in a blender with some water. Set your blender to the highest setting and turn it on to blend them together.
  2. Pour your blended raspberries into a bowl through a fine mesh sieve to get the seeds out. Use a spoon to push the raspberries through the sieve into the bowl.
  3. In a sauce pan, make some simple syrup using 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of sugar. Bring it to a boil over the stove for about two minutes to dissolve the sugar. Pour it into a bowl and let it chill for about an hour.
  4. Pour your chilled simple syrup into the raspberry purees. Slowly stir it together in the bowl.
  5. Slice up your peaches and serve them over a bowl of vanilla ice cream.
  6. Pour your raspberry puree over the peaches and ice cream and enjoy!
