This Week’s Dessert

You know that summer has reached its pinnacle when peaches with all the color of a blazing sunset hang heavily on their branches.  As the dog days settle in, those Southern  peaches just get sweeter and sweeter.

Finish out any meal this week with Pecan Stuffed Grilled Peaches.  Grilled just right to bring out the natural sweetness, then stuffed with a toasted pecan crumble, topped with vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with honey this week’s dessert is might just be good enough to make summer your favorite season.
