    Wakamatsu's Peachy Good Waffle Sandwich

    November 10, 2020 by athomewithrebecka Leave a Comment

    Wakamatsu's Peachy Good Waffle Sandwich

    Texas Ranger Baseball and Food Sport Unite

    The marriage of Major League Baseball and food sport is a philanthropic union of epic proportions. Together, food sport and the MLB provide a unified sense of community for all people; bringing everyone together to enjoy one thing: delicious food.

    The Players

    Don Wakamatsu, American former professional baseball player, scout, coach, manager, and current Bench Coach of the Texas Rangers; along with my friend, award-winning jelly maker, jelly maven, and owner of the Dallas based Jelly Queens, Donna Collins, have joined forces to serve the elderly through food.

    Wakway Farms

    Don Wakamatsu is the founder of The WakWay Foundation and a fourth-generation farmer. His background in farming and his good samaritan spirit-bore the idea to feed the elderly in Dallas through the Denton County chapter of Meals on Wheels by getting players involved with serving seniors.

    As the idea progressed, fate led Don to Donna Collins where their collective generosity opened the door for players to learn the art of jelly making; influencing them to share their jelly creations with organic, sustainable, Non-GMO jellies and nut butter(s) served to homebound elderly on a weekly basis.

    The Food Sport Angle

    Invited to participate in the next level of this endeavor, I'm the first up to bat in the line up of 10 Texas Food Sport Chefs that have been paired with Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers to create a one of a kind recipe, featuring the jams and jellies made by the Coach and team players.

    I was teamed up with Coach Don - how cool is that?

    Home Run

    Teaming up Major League Baseball coaches and players with award-winning food sport chefs from Texas, all with the desire to promote the welfare of others is a home run! I'm honored to be part of the team!

    Recipe Flavor

    Don's recipe flavor is Peach Jam with a hint of cinnamon aptly named, Wak's Perfect Peach Jam. It tastes just like peach pie in a jar...DELICIOUS!

    I was lucky enough to catch up with him while on the road between practices for the first round of away games.

    When I asked why he chose peach jam he stated, "growing up in Oregon on my grandmother's pear farm, we always had several albino peach trees." Don describes the peaches as having a "sweet vanilla flavor," with some growing as large as a softball.

    Leaving an indelible mark on his memory, it's clear now why Coach Don chose to create this wonderful peach jam.

    Why Breakfast?

    As Coach Don reminisced, I learned that his favorite meal of the day is breakfast, "I'll eat breakfast any time of the day which probably stems from all the late-night games and eating out at the Waffle House because it's the only restaurant that's open at 3 AM."

    Wakamatsu's Peachy Good Waffle Sandwich

    With the holidays right around the corner, Wakamatsu's Peachy Good Waffle Sandwich is the perfect fit for this delectable peach jam.

    Dressed with Wak’s Perfect Peach Jam, the crispy waffles are then spread with real mayonnaise and layered with leftover sliced turkey, ham, and jalapeno Havarti. The dish's finishing touches include a whipped peach honey butter to create the perfect bite. 

    Add More Stuff-ing

    If you're an adventurous eater like me, add a layer of stuffing or any combination of holiday leftovers to create your version of this mouthwatering waffle sandwich.
