            ¼ cup              Water
            8-10                 Peaches, peeled and cut into small pieces
(Ripe peaches should peel easily.
If not, boil water in a pot and dunk peaches for 20 seconds.)

to a soupy consistency with soft chunks, stirring every few minutes.

6. Finally pour the cooked peaches (about 3 full cups) over goat cheese, gently spreading.
            Garnish with:  2 pinches        Cinnamon

Late Summer Peach Mousse

Although we call this peach custard it works wonderfully with any summer fruit. Another one of our most favorite options is apricot.
