There are many foods that define summer: corn on cob, root beer floats, watermelon, berries, heirloom tomatoes, fresh basil. Here's a quick dessert/snack/breakfast item sure to please young and old alike. No extra sugar was added in order to take advantage of and to appreciate the natural sweetness of the peaches. I like to use doughnut peaches (also known as 'saucer' and 'UFO' peaches) but any variety will work. If the skin really bothers you, go ahead and peel the peach-I understand. Nectarines are really delicious prepared this way, too. Ingredients:
2 small doughnut peaches, unpeeled and sliced (*no* canned peaches!) |
3 tablespoons heavy cream (approximately-don't drown the peaches) or 3 tablespoons half-and-half (approximately-don't drown the peaches) |
ground cinnamon, to garnish (or cardamom or freshly grated nutmeg) |
Directions:
1. Slice up the peaches (I don't bother with peeling them.).
2. Arrange in a bowl and pour heavy cream on the top and around the edges.
3. If desired, sprinkle lightly with ground cinnamon (or freshly grated nutmeg or ground cardamom).
4. Take a whiff then enjoy and savor summer and its bounty!
