Name: Sauteed Catfish with Ginger Peach Sauce

God really loves us and wants us to turn away from our sins. If He passed final judgment now, we would have no such opportunity; that would be the end of time for us. He has sufficient provocation to do so; that we recognize. We have sinned enough to deserve His infinite wrath at any moment, but we do not receive it. We have an opportunity, therefore, to turn away from our sin and to turn to God. Instead of continuing to offend Him, we can plead for forgiveness and seek to please Him. While there is yet life, that is possible.

INSTRUCTIONS

GINGER PEACH SAUCE
CATFISH
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.
