Description
Peach fluff, a dessert i came up with recently. Had canned peaches and peach preserve(peach jam) that i got from kodaikanal while on a holiday there.was not sure about the results but was absolutely delicious.Peaches were one among the fruits that i have not tasted fersh. It was always the canned ones that i have had. when i was in my brothers place in london, the amount of options in fresh fruits and berries you get there are enormous.Any where i get to see fresh fruits and berries i have not tasted, i immediately buy and eat it then and there.We bought some strawberries and peaches home. My nephew dyab was just 2 years old then and started talking words and sentences in bits and pieces. I had peaches and he had strawberries. He made a mess by eating the strawberries all over his hands and face. I cleaned him up and just kissed him. My god he smelt awesome with the essence of strawberries all over him.I could not stop smelling him for a long while after that.Only later did i notice i was equally smelling good with the essence of peaches.
