These three gorgeous gals are hosting a Chopped-type link-up each Monday. Each Monday, they announce a new secret ingredient and you have until the following Monday to create a yummy dish including this Mystery Ingredient.
Last week, Jessica chose cherries as the MI -- one of my fave fruits!
Because I am a procrastinator extraordinaire, I waited until today (on our drive back from Michigan) to decide what culinary delight I would prepare. And, here it is:
Cherry-Berry Peach Melba
I poured one bag of Trader Joe's Cherry-Berry frozen fruits into a saucepan, added 1/2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 c. water, 1/3 cup sparkling peach moscato, 2 tbsp. cornstarch and 1/4 c. sugar.
I brought the mixture to boil and reduced to a simmer until it was thicker (still a tad watery, though; you may want to add less water or more cornstarch).
Then, I placed half of a Trader Joe's shortbread on a plate, topped with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream, and drizzled the cherry sauce on top.
It was seriously delicious. Kyle and the kids said they wanted to make this a weekly summer dessert -- winning!
Go check out Tasha's blog to see what she chose for next week's MI!
Warm fruit and ice cream, can it get any better? I love that you went with your own recipe on this. And as for procrastination, guess who was at the grocery store this very morning?
ReplyDeleteI had to slap my own hand to keep,from taking seconds; summer desserts are the best! This recipe was like cheating -- nothing so elaborate as yours!
DeleteI'm pinning this. And I'm hungry.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the simplest things.....right?
DeleteLooks so delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It really was good. And, now, I can't stop thinking about it.....
DeleteMary Kate, you're killing my feeble attempt at Weight Watchers :)
ReplyDeleteI'm killing my own WW attempts, too, Colleen. I feel your pain.
DeleteWow. That looks good. Like, even with the ice cream on it, good.
ReplyDeleteOh, you and your ice cream discrimination! I should punish you by adding in a pazcki!
