I’d never tried roasted stone fruit before (nor heard the phrase stone fruit), so was totally amazed when our friend Michelle brought this over as a dessert for one of our get-togethers. Top it off with coconut ice cream and and this roasted stone fruit dish gets over in a hurry. All you really need is lots of ripe stone fruits like peaches, apricots, plums and nectarines and a glug of Brandy. Yes, a glug is what the recipe calls for.

Roasted Stone Fruit

Here are the ingredients:

• 3-4 peaches
• 4 nectarines
• 4 plums
• 4 apricots
• Peel of ½ orange and juice
• 1 stick cinnamon broken in half
• 2 tsps of organic coconut sugar (optional)
• Good glug of brandy
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Make sure the stone fruits are ripe to overripe. Halve the fruits, remove the pits and place them in a single layer in baking pan. Cover the with the orange peels and the juice. Toss the cinnamon sticks in there along with the sugar and vanilla extract. Add a good glug of brady on top. Bake at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the fruits are soft and the juices start forming. Serve warm with a topping of coconut ice cream and you’ll wish summer lasted longer. 🙂
