Ingredients:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 (29 oz) can sliced peaches
  • 12 (3/4 inch thick) sliced day old French bread
  •  5 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon

 

Directions: 

 

In a saucepan stir together brown sugar, butter and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently.


Pour the brown sugar mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish making sure it covers the entire bottom of the dish. Place peaches in a layer over the sugar coating then top with the sliced bread.


In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla. Pour slowly over the bread to coat evenly. Sprinkle cinnamon on top.

Bake for 20 to 30 minutes at 350 degrees or until golden brown.

Florence Martus Statue
Little Gracie
Bonaventure Cemetery
While visiting Savannah, know that a little girl sits quietly posed in Bonaventure Cemetery awaiting your arrival. Gracie Watson died just 2 days before Easter Sunday in 1889 of pneumonia and the entire city felt the loss, not excluding her sculptor John Walz. Because of his skillful devotion to her making and the constant, loving touch of her fans, she has become more lifelike than any could've ever imagined. People from all over the world stop by to honor her story and memory. Many count her as a kind of unofficial dignitary for all of Savannah and she appeals to the child in all of us. A visit to Little Gracie is a visit complete. Bring a smile, a kind word, a toy or leave a donation & you're sure to have one more friend in this life and the beyond.
