Peach Custard

Wash the peaches by gently scrubbing their skin

Cut each peach in half lengthwise, inserting the knife up to the pit

With both hands, turn one half to each side; one will come off

Using a fork or knife, remove the pit from the other half

In a large pot, bring the peaches, sugar, and water to high heat

Let it simmer until the fruits are tender and the skins separate (about 10 minutes)

Remove from heat, transfer to a bowl, and with two spoons, remove any loose skins

Let it cool and serve at room temperature or refrigerate in an covered container until serving time
