Preparation Time: 1 hour
Baking Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Servings: 20 peaches

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 30 tablespoons of sugar
- 30 tablespoons of water
- 30 tablespoons of oil
- Flour as needed (approximately 1 kg, but adjust to achieve a soft and non-sticky dough)
- 3 packets of ammonium
- 2-3 tablespoons of vinegar (to extinguish the ammonium)
- 1 essence of rum
- Grated peel of one lemon

For the filling:
- The flesh of peaches (about 2-3 peaches, depending on size)
- 1 jar of peach jam (800 g)

For the syrup:
- 30 tablespoons of water
- 30 tablespoons of sugar
- Red food coloring (optional, for an attractive appearance)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

1. In a large bowl, combine the sugar with water and oil. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved in the water.
2. In another container, place the ammonium and extinguish it with vinegar. This will help the dough become fluffy.
3. Add the extinguished ammonium to the bowl with sugar, water, and oil. Mix well.
4. Begin to gradually incorporate the flour. Add the lemon peel and rum essence. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and non-sticky. You may need to adjust the amount of flour, so add it gradually.
5. Once the dough is ready, form balls the size of walnuts.

Step 2: Baking the Peaches

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (medium heat).
2. Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them to bake evenly.
3. Bake for about 15 minutes or until they turn lightly golden. Be careful, as every oven bakes differently!
4. Once they have cooled slightly, use a teaspoon to hollow out the inside of each peach. This step is essential for creating space for the filling.

Step 3: The Filling

1. Chop the flesh of the peaches you hollowed out and mix it with the peach jam in a bowl. This combination will add extra flavor and keep the filling juicy.
2. Fill each peach with the mixture of flesh and jam, then join two peaches together to form a whole "peach."

Step 4: Preparing the Syrup

1. In a saucepan, combine water and sugar to make the syrup. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
2. If you want to add a splash of color, add a few drops of red food coloring until you achieve the desired shade.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

1. Once the syrup is ready, dip each filled peach in the syrup, then quickly roll them in granulated red sugar (or white, if you prefer) to give them a shiny and attractive appearance.
2. Arrange the peaches on a platter and let them cool completely before serving.

Chef's Tip

For an extra burst of flavor, you can add some ground almonds to the jam filling. Also, if you enjoy more intense notes, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla essence to the jam and flesh mixture.
