Good fellows all,
One might wish to be careful with the serving of peach pits even as
a jest as the inner seed (also known as bitter almonds) is a source
of Arsenic. A couple of bitter almonds will not hurt most people, more
than that will kill you. How many more I am not sure.
Sincerly,
Ealasaid

I redacted this once. I found it tasty, but too caloric for my
personal use. I used frozen peach slices, fresh peaches not being
in season. You, as I recall, can get them cheaply in season.
If you were serving this sauce at a feast, it might be amusing to
serve peach pits as well. You could explain to the feasters that
you were being very thrifty, and not wasting any part of the
peach.... :-)
