Stone fruit season is one of my favorites.
Nectarines, apricots, peaches… I could eat them for days.
Normally I eat these fruits raw because they are THAT good and don’t need any adulteration.
BUT, I was feeling adventurous with some organic peaches I bought one day and I came up with something wonderful. Sweet, tangy, salty, crunchy, and creamy… this recipe has it all.
If you don’t make these you are seriously missing out. Just sayin’ 🙂
