Peach Season

There's a lot of fabulous peach recipes out there.


Blackberry-peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream, for example.


But mostly I just like eating them, preferably standing over the sink. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Triple Berry Cheesecake for a Party

We went to a party last night, and I brought a triple berry cheesecake. I covered the top of the cheesecake with (strained) black raspberry jam, a combination of fresh red raspberries and blackberries, and then a thin drizzle of caramel. The cheesecake recipe is originally from the Barefoot Contessa, but I used a ginger-pecan crust instead of graham crackers, light cream cheese instead of the regular, and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.

Blackberry-Yogurt Tart

The recipe is from Baking With Julia, deceptively called Yogurt Tart. Doesn't sound too interesting, does it? However, last night I happened to catch Baking With Julia on Create TV, and along with my favorite French apple tart, they made this blackberry-yogurt tart. Having a bunch of blackberries on hand, I decided we needed to try it--and it's wonderful. The recipe is here.
