When life gives peaches, some make pies. I make Grand Marnier Peach Popsicles! Now be a peach and pop on over for a peek...
Truth be told, I would normally reach for a basket of nectarine when given the choice. This is mainly because of that fuzzy skin the peach dons. Doesn't it freak you out just a little, or is that just me? Once I get past the skin, however, it's hard not to love the juicy, sticky, golden juices they produce.
I shared on Instagram the sweet deal I scored on a basket of plump, delicious Ontario peaches. Before I could get them home, I'd given a few away to colleagues and a friend I just so happened to run into. Hmm, I now wonder whether that was a coincidence...
I am not much of a pie person and I think you know by now that I am not a big fan of cooked fruit, so the peaches that were still in my possession were destined for the blender. Pair them with a little citrus and booze and it's like licking fuzzy navels off sticks. (pause for imagery...)
With no Peach Schnapps on hand, I thought I'd try a bit of the Grand Marnier that was left over from my Orange Chocolate Mousse cake. A little honey to sweeten, a touch of orange zest and yada-yada-yada...POPS!!
These Grand Marnier Peach Popsicles are easy and oh so delicious! The kiddos would love these peach pops, minus the alcohol. Simply replace the Grand Marnier with orange juice and VOILA!!
Summer is quickly slipping away, so go get your peaches on! It's real simple!
