Gross Orchard, Bedford- My Favorite

Here is a video I created of a favorite business. And a recipe to use with their fruits in one of my favorite recipes from Paula Dean. I like to use with peaches and put with pork or you can use for a dessert over ice cream.

Ingredients :
* 1/4 cup bourbon
* 2 sticks butter, softened
* 2 cups light brown sugar, packed firmly
* 2 lemons, juiced
* 1/2 cup water
* Assorted fruit cut in 1/2 (peaches or plums)

Directions Put the bourbon into a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil. Boil for 1 minute to burn off the alcohol. Add the butter, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a boil whisking until all the sugar is dissolved. Simmer for 5 minutes. Let cool to thicken. Toss fruit with the glaze to coat or brush glaze over fruit with a pastry brush. Place fruit on the grill and turn once when light grill marks appear. Serve with ice cream and drizzle the remaining glaze over the fruit.

And to buy your peaches you must go to Gross's Orchard in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. What a stunning drive north of Bedford, VA. The vegetable are great and so are the people. Tell Ronnie, Norma sent you!
