3 Tablespoons Meyer’s rum

½ teaspoon Cinnamon

2 Tablespoons Pecans, chopped (optional)

PREPARATION:

• Preheat sauté pan on medium heat.


• Add sliced peaches and brown sugar


• Once peaches and brown sugar heat and sugar dissolves, add the rum and cinnamon


• Let the rum reduce and stir occasionally.


• Serve warm over low fat ice cream, whole wheat pancakes or French toast.


• Pecans if wanted can be added at the very end.

Chef’s Note:  If more liquid is needed, add 1 cup of apple or pineapple juice.  If more calories are available for your breakfast you can add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the recipe. You would add the butter at the beginning to sauté your peaches.  Another option would be to add ¼ cup of sugar free maple syrup instead.
