With my last cooking experiment going so well (see my post about the caramelized tomatoes), I decided to cook up a special dessert using some local peaches. It was delicious, and very easy. The peaches were incredibly flavorful and fragrant, particularly compared with the usual well-traveled supermarket variety. Here is my recipe for baked peaches (serves 2, but can easily be altered for however many servings you need):
Ingredients
2 ripe, firm peaches
4 teaspoons maple syrup
1/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (thicker and creamier than usual yogurt--Fage brand is available in the natural foods section at Wegmans)
Pecans to taste (optional)
Cut the peaches in half.
- Remove the peach stones.
- Drizzle one teaspoon of maple syrup over each peach half.
- Bake at 350 degrees until peaches are warm and slightly soft, about 10 minutes.
- When peaches are done baking, top each half with a dollop of Greek yogurt.
- Sprinkle with pecans.
- Enjoy!
Does anyone else have any recipes for light, summer desserts using local fruits that they would like to share?
