Dark Days challenge brunch - mmm, peaches!

It is with great sadness that I report that we have eaten the last of the peaches. They were tasty, though. They somehow managed to be both brown and over lemon-juiced, though (I suspect I didn't add the juice until too late; it was the first batch I put up.)

However, they made an excellent brunch. I mixed up the last of the pancake mix from Quiver Full Farm (Asheville, Ohio) and added a few peaches (normally I add the fruit once the batter has been poured onto the griddle, but these peaches were sliced thin and falling apart so they went right into the batter.) I poured the rest of the peaches and their juice into a pot and reduced them, adding maple syrup once the pancakes and bacon (peppered bacon from Blues Creek, Marysville, Ohio) were done. Peach pancakes topped with peach/maple syrup with peaches, and crisy-chewy peppered bacon...it was a delicious brunch!
