[Cook] Roasted Fruit

This dessert recipe from Everyday Food: Great Food Fast was just alright. I thought it tasted too buttery for my taste. I actually thought fresh nectarin, peach, and plum tasted better than the roasted one. I did like the rosemary in the dessert though. It added a different flavor and made this dessert tasted special.


Roasted Fruit

Roasting peaches, plums, and nectarines releases their juices and creates a nice sauce for this herb-scented dessert. You could also add apricots.
