The Peach Preserve Cake was good, but it needed a bit of something. I found no forgotten carton of vanilla ice cream in the freezer (or even Cool-Whip) and since the 2012 Clean Out is all about eating what we have on hand, I wanted to experiment with a quick sauce for our cake.
I used about a cup of the plethora of peach freezer jam and added some amaretto.
Peach Freezer Jam
I think brandy, cognac, or even bourbon would work nicely, too.
Peach-Amaretto Sauce
1 c. peach freezer jam, thawed
1/3 c. AmarettoCombine jam and Amaretto in a small sauce pan. Heat to boiling while stirring constantly and then reduce to simmer. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce is reduced a bit.
We had one little boil over issue.
Let cool slightly and serve.
Peachy and more peachy goodness!
Oh, how I wish I could find some ice cream in the freezer! This would be wonderful over a bowl of vanilla-bean.

I really think that you made the perfect pick, using amaretto. I think I would like to spend one hour in your pantry-yum!
There seems to be some really tasty stuff you have sitting around, my pantry-not so much. Enjoy the weekend!
I seem to always have some Amaretto in the pantry. I love to bake with it.
I love Amaretto for flavor and with peaches I bet that was yummy 🙂
I had to hide the spoons.
Holy cow Eliot! This looks amazing! While this may be a great accompaniment to cake or ice…all I need is a spoon! (I LOVE amaretto!) : )
Ok, so I am a little underage but I have had alcohol in Tiramisu so this should be fine right? It looks so good 😀

That reminded my of the Peach and Amaretto ice cream I made. A warm peach and amaretto sauce over it would have been great (cause you can’t have too much peach and amaretto). I bet the sauce would be good on waffles or pancakes also, add a little amaretto to your coffee…great Sunday brunch. Excuse me while I check and see if I have any peach jam…
Cheers to all!! I agree—one cannot have too much of either.
Wow, what a tasty topping! So pretty, too.
This is so funny but I actually often put amaretto in my peach preserves! It adds a fun bite to the jam. Your sauce sounds fabulous. We are on the same food wavelength I think.
Becky—that now sounds like a no-brainer. What a great idea! Thank you.
That would be SO good stirred into a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast in the morning too! Yum!
You are soooooo right! Another fantastic idea. I love it! Thanks, Jen.
I use this over a block of cream cheese, served with thin, thin Ginger cookies. So so good for a guick snack or party dish
