Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 30, but can be halved
Ingredients:
15 hard, fresh peaches or other
firm, stone fruit
24 almond macaroons or almond cookies, crushed
¼ c simple syrup or sherry
1 c ricotta cheese
1 ½ tsp chopped preserved ginger
lemon juice
Directions:
- Prepare the stuffing first. Moisten
the crushed almond macaroons or
cookies with a little simple syrup or sherry, then
stir into this the
ricotta cheese. Add the ginger - this serves to pep
up the flavour of the
stuffing.
- Sprinkle the halved, stoned fruit
with some lemon juice. Place the
fruit in a buttered, oven-proof dish. Use a small
spoon to pile the
filling into them
- Bake at 350F for 15-20 minutes,
until tender and
lightly browned. Serve warm.
