“I sometimes use half a vanilla bean in this dessert. Just scrape the seeds into the baking dish and tuck the pod under the fruit.” Either way, this fruity treat is a standout! —Maria Breiner, Schwenksville, Pennsylvania
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons rum, optional
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 medium nectarines, halved
1 pound fresh sweet cherries, pitted
vanilla ice cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine sugar, rum if desired, cornstarch and vanilla. Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Place nectarine halves, cut side down, over sugar mixture. Sprinkle with cherries.
2. Bake, uncovered, 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and fruit is tender. Serve warm with ice cream. Yield: 8 servings.
