'Tis the Season...

...for peaches! It seems this delectable and pretty fruit is popping up everywhere these days. Peaches in salads, a cold peach soup, peach drinks, and of course a barrage of peach desserts.

Peach pies, peach creme brulee, even peach dessert pizza. However, this recipe borrowed from Bon Appetit remains a most intriguing peach "dessert". Perfect for an upscale Labor Day fete!
