This past year our family was fortunate enough to spend some time in the beautiful state of Georgia. With peaches in season, I wanted to come up with a fitting tribute to this stunning Southern state, and our own roots in Canada.
Aside from its Southern hospitality, Georgia is known for both its peaches and its pecans. Thus, I give you Roasted Georgia Peaches Stuffed with Pecan Streusal and Canadian Maple Cream.
The sweet, savoury baked peaches could be a dessert on their own. Top them with caramelized brown sugar, the crunch of pecans, and maple infused cream, and you’ve taken the entire dish to a new stratosphere.
Hurry… give it a try while they’re still in season!
