Chopped candied ginger Recipe
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a large baking sheet with non-stick vegetable spray.
In a large bowl, combine peaches, 3 tablespoons sugar, and water. Gently stir. Cover and let stand at room temperature at least 1 hour.
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and ground ginger. Add candied ginger; toss to mix well. Stir in the cream, then the milk. Drop by 1/3 cupfuls, 2-inches apart, on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until lightly browned and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove to a wire rack; let cool for 10 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat cream, remaining 1 tablespoon sugar, and vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form.
TO SERVE: Split the biscuits with a serrated knife. Place bottom halves on plates. Top each with about 3/4 cup peaches and 3 tablespoons cream. Replace biscuit tops, spoon on remaining cream; sprinkle with candied ginger.
