I thought I'd mix it up and throw a dessert recipe out there for you guys. I love dessert, but try not to make it often. But my husband loves sweets, so I thought this would be a nice treat. I saw this recipe in Bon Appetit magazine and wanted to give it a try. I have a plethora of blueberries right now, and also picked up some fresh peaches that I thought would go well with the berries. The original recipe doesn't call for peaches, but I thought they were fantastic. The original recipe also calls for olive oil to drizzle and pepper, which I omitted and still found it super tasty! And as per usual for me, I didn't exactly follow the measurements (I used half a lemon, half a lime and half an orange and added more sugar until it was sweet enough for me. You really can't mess this recipe up, so use whatever amounts you like.).
- 2 cups blueberries
- 2 cups peaches
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 sprig basil, torn into pieces, plus small leaves for garnish
- Vanilla ice cream
oh this looks really good!
