It’s the tail end of summer and the beginning of fall. Stone fruit (peaches, plums, nectarines) are ripe and delicious and I’m totally obsessed with them right now.
From fresh slices, to grilled, to relishes and salsas, to juice and sweet desserts, these gems are so versatile in cooking and baking.
Here’s a simple, very tasty dessert that features peaches and blueberries. I hope you’ll try and enjoy!
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 cups sliced fresh peaches or frozen unsweetened peach slices (thawed and drained)
- 1 ½ tbsp packed brown sugar
- 1 tbsp whole-wheat or all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp ground ginger
- ½ cup fresh or frozen unsweetened blueberries (thawed)
- 4 gingersnaps, crushed into ¼- to ½-inch pieces
- 1/3 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1/8 cup chopped pecans (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Directions
