What can I use instead of peaches for this recipe?

You can easily substitute peaches with seasonal fruits like plums, pears, or even fuzzy apples. The cooking process will remain the same, allowing you to make delicious dumplings with any stone fruits that you prefer.

Can I make these dumplings in advance?

Absolutely! You can prepare the dumplings ahead of time and store them in the fridge before baking. Just wait to bake them until you are ready to serve, ensuring the crunchy pastry remains fresh.

How do I store leftover peach dumplings?

To keep the flavors intact, store leftover dumplings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. They taste best when served fresh, but you can reheat them with a quick pop in the oven.

What is orange blossom syrup, and where can I find it?

Orange blossom syrup is a fragrant syrup made from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, and it adds a unique, sweet floral flavor. You can often find it in the international section of grocery stores or make it at home.

Is there a vegan version of peach dumplings?

Yes! You can use vegan puff pastry available in stores, and replace the orange blossom syrup with agave nectar or a plant-based sweetener. This keeps the essence of the dish while aligning it with vegan dietary needs.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Briefly blanch the peaches in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice bath to cool. Peel and pit the peaches.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut it into squares. Place a peach in the center, sprinkle with sugar and cardamom, wrap the pastry around it, and seal the edges.
Place the wrapped dumplings on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Drizzle with orange blossom syrup, then top with toasted pistachios and edible rose petals before serving.
