This vanilla sugar peach crisp is baked in tiny mason jars and is the perfect combo of peaches and sweet vanilla sugar. Eat warm out of the oven or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I will admit this. I love mason jars. They are cute, functional and totally crafty. Even though I don’t have a crafty bone in my body I see a mason jar and I feel like freaking Martha Stewart.
My love for mason jars and Martha Stewart helped me put this post together. As I stared at a table full of jars I realized I should start cooking inside these adorable little vessels. Who doesn’t love a little edible on the go container? Plus, again, it’s really super cute.
As I rooted around in my pantry I found a little neglected bag of vanilla sugar that was begging to be used. So I decided I would pair it with the few remaining peaches sitting on my counter. It was a match made in heaven. The type of match that will last forever. It’s no summer love, it’s a forever love. Great. Now I have Summer Lovin’ stuck in my head. Thanks John Travolta.
So, back to mason jars, peaches and vanilla sugar. I used my little 4 ounce jelly jars but really use any smaller sized mason jar you see fit. I’m sure they will all work. For the topping I used one of my favorites. It’s from Ina Garten and it’s the bomb. Who else loves Ina Garten? I think it’s my dream to get invited to one of her little dinner parties. At the end of the party I imagine we would all sit around awkwardly giggling and talking about Jeffery’s love of roast chicken.
I’m so random today. Make the crisp. Eat the crisp. Love the crisp. Also, don’t forget to love the mason jars. They are super cool.

Come live with me. Make me food. I don’t mind your randomness. 🙂
Looks DELICIOUS!
I love Mason Jars too – so beautiful! And yet functional. Happy sigh.
Love the cute reflection of you in the bowl – I’m always appearing in serving spoons and things in my photos!
Finally: the recipe sound delicious, and looks adorable!
I shall not merely love the crisp, I shall WORSHIP the crisp! And I also need to get more mason jars in my life. I feel so inadequate without them! 😛
I too love Ina. Upon my little shelves are a handful of colorfully covered books by Ina. Yep and her giggly demeanor on her show is very endearing. Don’t you think? I love her show and I’m pretty sure she would like this dessert with whipped cream as well. can’t wait to try this, embarrassingly I do not own mason jars. Guess I will have to hit some thrift stores or garage sales. (for fun)

While I do love Ina and her recipes (they never fail) her doting on Jeffrey makes me want to gag. This lovely peach deliciousness however, does not 😉
Lovely photos! And all those peaches in the mason jars ? The look divine! Thanks for sharing. What a great idea for peaches in season 🙂
