Mote con huesillos


Explanation:
No lo traduciría, solamente especificaría que es dried peach (huesillos) cooked with syrup with optional mote added. Mote is fresh cooked wheat with almost no flavor. O algo así como "Chilean sweet drink with dried peach"

It is my suggestion that you not translate the word \"mote.\" This is a word used in the Andean region to describe corn that comes from the following process:

Dried corn
Soaked in lukewarm water for 8 hours
Boiled

You can find mote in Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and perhaps other countries.

It is not like comparable to anything I have eaten say in the U.S.

Suerte.

If it is talking about boiled corn and not peaches :-), mote is usually flavored with the fried, discarded parts of a pig (called fritada en Ecuador). The huesillos could be referring to this...

disagree  Angela C.: No, David huesillos is peaches in this context. This is a Chilean drink. The peaches are dried or dissecated then they are boiled and this juice is served with "mote"

With the liquid, of course ;-). Great for the heat.

Marcela is right. A lot of people put peaches instead of apricots.

Sorry, by a local drink, I meant here in Chile. In fact, there is a street vendor who calls himself \"El Rey del Mote con Huesillo\". During the summer, people from all over the city drive to his corner stand just to drink his \"Mote\". At the end of the day, he just gets on his Mercedes and drives away.

stewed peaches, [candied peaches...]


Explanation:
stewed peaches

based on what the recipe I found says....

I'll keep researching

I'm strongly leaning towards "STEWED PEACHES"

I agree with Marcela that on a local menu it should probably remain untranslated.

If I had to translate it, then to my American ears something like \"stewed peach beverage with wheat\" would sound descriptive enough and fairly concise
