Roasted Peach Dip with Berry Wands


For the sweet dip at the Magical Fairy Feast (menu here), I wanted to make use of the abundance of summer stone fruits and picked up some peaches at the farmers' market. I served it in a hollowed out watermelon and served it with berry wands.

Ingredients

Dip

  • 2 to 3 organic ripe peaches, pitted and sliced into wedges
  • 2 C organic sour cream
  • 1/2 t pure vanilla extract
  • 3 T raw local honey
  • 1/2 t ground cinnamon
  • mini watermelon
Wands

  • organic berries, rinsed and dried (I used blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries)
  • organic grapes, rinsed and dried
  • also needed: bamboo skewers

Procedure
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place peaches in a rimmed baking dish. Place them in them in the oven until they begin to caramelize and lose their shape, approximately 35 minutes. While the peaches roast, assemble the wands.

Alternate fruits, pushing them on to the skewers carefully. Slice off the bottom of the watermelon so it sits flat; slice off the top of the watermelon and scoop out the flesh. Set aside

In a small mixing bowl, stir together sour cream, vanilla extract, honey, and cinnamon. Spoon in the roasted peaches and stir to combine.

Just before serving, spoon the dip into the watermelon bowl. Serve alongside your wands.

This month the French Winophiles group is looking at affordable wines from Burgundy.  Host Cindy of Grape Experiences wrote: "Burgundy, or Bourgogne, is known for its wines of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir... as well as Aligote, Gamay, Sauvignon, César, Pinot Beurot, Sacy, Melon in lesser quantities. Many of the well-known wines are quite expensive, but there are plenty of values to be found."

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

photo by D For my Spice It Up! kiddos this week, I was looking for an exotic drink to serve while we learned about saffron. I found a recipe from food historian Maricel Presilla that mimicked traditional Spanish hot chocolate from the 17th century where it was served at lavish receptions called agasajos . When I teach, I don't always get to shoot photos. Thankfully, D grabbed my camera and snapped a few.
