Summer stone fruit is now out there in all places and we’re totally having fun with it. August is nearly right here, and earlier than we all know it we’ll be transferring into fall. Here in Florida, fall shall be somewhat slower to reach, however I’m headed to Italy early October and can take pleasure in cooler fall temperatures there. Before I leap into something pumpkin spice nonetheless, I have to share just a few recipes I’ve just lately made with summer season fruit.
Peaches have been scrumptious this yr, inspiring me to sort out just a few peach-based desserts. I favor to make a crostata quite than a pie as my crostata crust comes collectively in minutes, doesn’t want refrigerating, and requires no rolling. Simply use your fingertips to press the crust into the pan.
You want a tart pan with a detachable backside to make this crostata. I used a mix of recent peaches and jam for my filling and topped it off with thinly sliced almonds. Choose ripe peaches that stay agency sufficient to peel.
Enjoy your meal!
