Roasted Peach Dip with Berry Wands

By

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.

Hot Chocolate Agasajo-Style {Spice It Up!}

By
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. Ingredients serves 14-16 1 gallon organic whole milk 3 T dried rosebuds - or 2 t rosewater 2 t saffron threads, lightly crushed 3 T ground cinnamon 3 whole tepin chiles, crushed 2 vanilla beans, split lengthwise 1 C organic granulated sugar 1 lb. bittersweet chocolate Procedure In a large soup pot that can hold a gallon plus, combine milk, dried rosebuds (or rosewater, if you are using that), saffron threads, ground cinnamon, chiles, vanilla beans, and sugar and warm over medium heat till it steams. Whisk to dissolve sugar, then lower heat an...

Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream

By
As we headed inland from the coast, I cringed as the temperature gauge in the car for outside temp climbed into the triple digits. Ugh. I'm a rather wimpy central coastal Californian who begins to wilt when it's 70 degrees outside. Thank goodness for air conditioning and a planned ice cream stop. When I parked the car outside Frozen Art Gourmet Ice Cream in Santa Rosa, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. We knew that we still had to get to the campsite...and set up our tents in the heat. But we were going to enjoy the cool, sweet treats from Frozen Art first! Michoacana ice creameries are the equivalent of Starbucks in Mexico; they're ubiquitous. Purists, however, claim that operating a true Michoacana ice cream shop require ties to Tocumbo. It's estimated that almost ninety percent of the Tocumban population is currently employed in the ice cream business from making ice cream itself to making equipment. But the real art of Tocumban ice creams: imaginat...
