Peach Melba 8/23/12
I cooked up this dessert using local Jersey peaches which are wonderful this year. Added the vanilla ice cream, raspberries, whipped cream, and a dash of cinnamon as I didn't have any almonds in the house. Of course it was delicious but I don't know that I would go through this cooking and prep process again. I could of easily cut the peaches, popped them into a bowl and I think it would taste near the same and done in a few minutes instead of the 45 it took....too much time and effort on a summer night.

I think that was the nice thing about this dessert - it could go "simple" or "complex" and still be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYour desserts look tasty.
It looks great! I like what Cher said, simple or complex, this is good.
ReplyDeleteWasn't this perfect for ripe local peaches? So tasty they barely need anything added to make an elegant dessert :)
ReplyDeleteFresh Jersey peaches…the best! Yours looks very pretty …glad you enjoyed it! My peaches were not so ripe, putting them in the poaching syrup gave them a nice flavor and softness! I like that you added cinnamon.
ReplyDeletelooks great! despite not feeling like it was worth the poaching efforts!
ReplyDeleteI can see how this would be too much work on a warm evening, but then you could put together the same thing with fresh sliced peaches for something just as delicious. I did love the flavor combination.
