I knew they wouldn’t be anything near Andy’s but they were pretty and I was missing fresh peaches. What I’d forgotten, though, was the likelihood that Costco late-season US-grown ones would be clingstone. And clingstones that had never been allowed to ripen.
After several days, they were beginning to soften up but the nose knew. Oh well, that had been a given all along.
They held onto those pits like a toddler guards its favorite toy, and when I finally managed to work them loose, my peach halves lost a chunk of their innards.
I scraped the mashed-up bits off as best I could and put them back in the centers.
Hey. I filled the centers with raspberries. Melted a quarter cup butter with maybe a bit more than that of brown sugar and some cinnamon (lemon would have been good, too–next time) and spooned that over the raspberries and took their pretty picture and then baked them for about an hour.
Stuffed peaches, there you go. Is that a thing? It is now.
He needed seconds to use up his ice cream. As one does.
