Some time ago I asked what you would like to see more on this blog! Surprisingly a lot of you answered “sidedishes”. So far I focussed on the meat and fish I prepare due to time restrictions. Time for a chance! With these peach liquor carrots I bring you a surprising side to serve that can beat up against a beautiful piece of meat/chicken! Pour yourself a cocktail and save some of the liquor for this side! You won’t regret!

Peach liquor carrots
I love carrots but to be honest it took me a while to get them like I wanted! Somehow they would never get the lovely sweet and full flavor I remembered from home! I’ve tried quite some recipes using, honey, sugar, fruit juices, … Mostly ok but rarely good enough! Until I was making a cocktail in an experimenting mood and tried to add the peach liquor to my carrots who were simmering in my skillet on the BBQ. The peach liquor carrots were born!
I guess these experiments are the essential part of cooking! The result of those experiments can be quite surprising. I hope you see the recipes I bring as a source of inspiration to go out and experiment yourself! Just because it’s fun and you learn to know what you’re doing (btw: failing is a part of the learning process so don’t be scared). Hope to see some of your creations on social media soon! And if you’re not feeling comfortable experimenting, don’t worry this recipe rocks! Have a nice BBQ over there!
