Baked Peaches & Apricots – A Sweet Summer Favourite

Nowadays I can often be found wandering around the house lamenting the lack of time I have and wondering what I did with my days before we had the twins. I believe the answer to this is that I watched a great many re-runs of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. But seriously, I don’t know how the heck I managed to fill my days. With the new arrivals I have found that there is less luxury time. What I mean by that is that I have to use the time I have pretty well or I get thrown off course, nothing gets done and then I have to watch re-runs of Eastenders instead and NOBODY wants that. What is it with that show? If I lived there, with such moany people, I would have to spray the whole of Albert Square in Sunny Delight. Yes, they may be sticky and covered in wasps but hopefully they’d be in better moods!!!!

Anyway, back to today’s dessert, which because I now have babies, no time and am covered in poo, is perfect because it is super quick, super sweet and super in season.

And I know you don’t come here for the grammar!!!!!

  • I took 2 ripe peaches and three ripe apricots.
  • I sliced them in half and took the stone out.
  • Then I sprinkled two teaspoons of sugar over them and placed them on a lined baking tray.
  • I baked them slowly in a cool oven for about forty five minutes.
  • I brought them out and served them warm with Elderflower Sorbet.
  • Although they would be just as perfect served with Vanilla Ice Cream.

Soft fruits, blooming hydrangeas, cooler mornings, being covered in poo and puke. Gosh, these halcyon days, I hope they never end! Although they will and this is probably a good thing as poo is not a good look with the Autumn fashions.

Enjoy the sun on your faces and the green of your surroundings. Enjoy your babies if they are small or big. Enjoy your body both before and after babies. And enjoy your iPhone with filmed footage of your babies when they were only a day old before it crashes on you and looses everything!

No matter who you pray to, please put in a request for me to be able to recover my footage & do let me know how you get on.

My husband asked me only yesterday if I had backed my phone up on the hard drive.

The answer was no…..

I love you all,
Cherry xoxoxox
