Creature Eggs





6 Or 12 canned peach halves

1/3 cup Syrup

          

  OR 

           

For small creature eggs, 



Use apricot halves instead and double up

    

1/2 cup Orange-flavored liqueur,

1 cup Whipping cream

2 teaspoons Powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla





Put peaches/apricots, cut side down, and syrup in an 8 inch square

pan. Add liqueur; cover and chill 6 hours or up to overnight.



With an electric mixer, whip cream, sugar and vanilla until cream

holds soft peaks.  Spoon 1/6 of the cream onto each of 6 salad plates

and spread out to form a disk about 4 inches across for 'egg whites'.



With slotted spoon, lift peaches/apricots from syrup and arrange 1

peach or 2 apricots ('double yolks'), round side up, in the center of

cream on each plate to make 'yolks'. Pour syrup into a small pitcher

and offer to pour onto individual portions.



Makes 6 servings.
