Ingredients
Salted Caramel Sauce
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 1/4 cup butter, cut into three pieces
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Waffles
  • One basic buttermilk waffle recipe (no buttermilk? Add 1/4 teaspoon cider vinegar to the milk)
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar dark or light
  • 3 cups fresh peaches, cut into small chunks
  • whipped cream for garnish
  • cooking spray for waffle iron
Instructions
Salted Caramel Sauce
  1. Place the sugar and water in a saucepan. Using medium-low heat, start melting the sugar, stirring frequently.

  2. As it starts to form snowy looking clumps, add 1/3 of the butter. Continue to heat and stir.

  3. When the butter is fully melted and you can see the sugar beginning to liquify, add another 1/3 of the butter, heating and stirring.

  4. As it begins turning a caramel color, add the remaining butter and stir until it's a saucy consistency. Continue to cook on low for about 5 minutes, stirring often.

  5. Slowly stir in the cream and cook until there are no sugar crystals left. But BE CAREFUL - Sugar gets very hot! Stir in the salt and set aside.

  6. Store any leftovers in a jar with a tight lid in the refrigerator. It should last a week or two. 

Waffles
  1. Prepare the peaches by giving them a quick blanche. Bring some unsalted water to a boil, then carefully drop the peaches in. Remove from the heat and let them sit for about 2-3 minutes. Drain them and run under cold water. The skins should just slip right off. Let them cool, then cut them.

  2. Use the basic waffle recipe, and add 2 Tablespoons of brown sugar to the batter. 

  3. Cut the peaches into small bits - I used large pieces and they tended to stick to the waffle iron.

  4. Stir 2 cups of the peaches into the batter.

  5. Pour about 1/2 to 2/3 cup of batter onto the waffle iron. Make sure peaches are evenly distributed. I use a Belgian waffle maker. The depressions are deeper and they hold more of the good topping stuff!!

  6. Keep them warm n the oven as you continue to cook, or have everyone start serving themselves.

  7. Top the waffles with whipped cream, caramel sauce and more fresh, chopped peaches. Devine!
