Enjoy the taste of summer with some delicious Baked Peaches with Lavender!

Baked peaches are the epitome of summer food, add a little lavender and you can make believe you’re soaking up the sun in the South of France. This is such an easy recipe and one that never disappoints. It’s a heavenly dessert with a little non-dairy ice cream, or enjoy it with granola and yogurt for a decadent breakfast to start the day in style.

Beautiful sunkissed peaches are plentiful in the farmer’s markets by the end of the summer. When you’re choosing them, make sure they’re heavy which means they’re full of juice, and just a little soft to the touch.

Baked Peaches are:

totally delicious
very easy to make
extremely healthy, they’re filled with fiber, potassium, and Vitamin C
a beautifully elegant dessert
made with local and seasonal ingredients in the late summer
you can make them ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for 3 days

How do you make Baked Peaches?

It’s very simple!

Halve the peaches and discard the pits
Place them in an oven-proof dish
Mix together the wine, water and honey, pour over the peaches, and place in the oven to bake for about 30 minutes
THAT’S IT!

Substitutions and variations:

instead of lavender use rosemary, lemon verbena, or even basil
if you don’t have access to fresh herbs, try a pinch of cinnamon
try fresh apricots or nectarines if you prefer
use date syrup, or maple syrup instead of honey
add white or rose wine, or if you’re living on the wild side add a touch of brandy or bourbon
