Fruit Stuffed Peaches

Fruit Stuffed Peaches


I am such a seasonal cook, and when summer comes around in the south, I cannot get enough peaches. Peaches are used for so many things, including as a delicious desert or side.


This stuffed peach recipe was inspired after making two other recipes, and features fruits and tastes that will tell the taste buds, it's summer.

Ingredients:


6 ripe peaches, peeled, halved, and pitted
1/2 cup blueberries, cut in half or whole
1/2 cup chopped strawberries
3/4 cup walnuts
3/4 cup Greek yogurt
10 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
Honey (optional)


Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a square or circle 9x9 baking dish. Cut the remaining pieces in half.
3. Peel, cut in half, and pit each peach. Use a 1/4 teaspoon and scrape a little extra flesh off the sides to make the hole from the pit a bit larger.
4. Sprinkle some sugar over the melted butter and place peaches pit side up in the dish.
5. Place butter in the pit of each peach, then sprinkle with more sugar.
6. Fill the center with Greek yogurt, strawberries, walnuts, and blueberries (don't worry if the blueberries do not fit well, they can cook in the dish as well).
7. Sprinkle with remaining sugar and drizzle with honey (optional).
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes.

This is a great summer desert, combining favorite summer fruits with the savory taste of Greek yogurt. It can be served with ice cream or whipped cream, and some sweet tea.
