In the summer I yearn for cold bright days like we're having-- I dream of snuggling in front of the fireplace, hot beverages, bundling up but now that it is here?? I want nothing more than to sit near an open window, drinking cool lemonade and grilling outside.
The thing I love most about summer though is the fruit. Give me a stone fruit and I will give you a smile.
I get lots of basil during the summer from my farm share-- so here is how I put the two together. Pretty simple stuff!
Inside you'll need:
Four peaches
A palmful of sugar (about a tablespoon) or less-- the recipe is better the simpler it is. If your fruit is really good, you can go without sugar.
5 leaves of basilA pinch of kosher salt
Toss them together without bruising your peaches.
For the crisp:
1/3 cup of chopped almonds
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 flour
Knob of butter (3 tablespoons?)
Another pinch of salt
Mix these things together and put on top of the fruit.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 1/2 hour or until golden and gooey.
Serve warm with a little ice cream or whipping cream.
