Roasted Fruit

This dessert is more interesting when prepared with a variety of stone fruits, but if you can’t find one particular type, substitute more of another. You could also use apricots in place of any of the other three fruits.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 peaches
2 plums
2 nectarines
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
2 to 3 tablespoons sugar (depending on sweetness of fruit)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. With a fork, prick the skins of the peaches, plums, and nectarines. Halve each fruit, and remove the pits. Halve the fruit again.

    Step 2

    In a roasting pan, toss the fruit with the rosemary, sugar, butter, and lime juice. Roast, tossing occasionally, until the fruit is fork-tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

    Step 3

    Serve warm over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, if desired, and drizzle the pan juices over the top.
