 Categories: Seafood, Sauces, Main dish
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
---------------------GINGER PEACH SAUCE--------------------------
      1 tb Butter
    1/2 ts Ginger, ground
     16 oz Peaches, sliced; drained
      1 c  Fruit spread, peach
      1 tb Catsup
      1 tb Vinegar, white wine

--------------------------CATFISH-------------------------------
    1/2 c  Flour
      1 tb Thyme leaves; crumbled
      1 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Pepper, black
  1 1/2 lb Catfish fillets
      2 tb Oil
      1 tb Butter
    1/2 c  Pecans, chopped
 
  You may use 1-1/2 c peeled sliced fresh peaches instead of the canned
  peaches.
  
  Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add ginger and stir
  1 minute. If using fresh peaches, add and cook, stirring
  occasionally, until peaches are fork tender, about 2 minutes. Add
  canned peaches, if using, and preserves; stir until jam melts. Stir
  in catsup, vinegar and hot pepper sauce. Transfer mixture to a
  blender or food processor and whirl until peaches are coarsely
  chopped. (Sauce can be cooled and refrigerated up to 2 weeks) To
  serve, warm sauce, stirring, in a sauce pan over medium heat.
  
  Makes about 2 cups.
  
  In a medium size bowl or pie plate, combine flour, thyme, salt and
  pepper. Rinse fish and pat dry. Dredge fish in flour mixture; shake
  off excess and lay fillets in a single layer on a plate. In a 10 to
  12 inch frying pan over medium heat, heat oil and butter; add pecans
  and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer nuts to paper
  towels to drain. Add fish to pan, without overlapping (you may need
  to cook in 2 batches) Cook until fish is crisp and golden on bottom,
  about 4 minutes; turn fillets over and cook until fish is opaque and
  tender in center of thickest area, another 4 minutes. Transfer fish
  briefly to paper towels to drain then arrange on plates. Spoon about
  3 Tablespoons warm Ginger Peach Sauce over each serving; sprinkle
  with pecans.
  
  Makes 4 servings.
  
  Ginger Peach Sauce is a nice counterpoint to the savory crispness of
  the fish. Keep some around to try with fried catfish, fried oysters
  or grilled shrimp.
