Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday ~Cool Treat

Peach Melba is one of my favorite cool summer treats.  It combines fresh fruits of the season, preserved raspberries and icecream! Yum! 

Raspberry Preserve:

4 cups cleaned raspberries
4 cups sugar
1 t. butter

Using a heavy pot cook raspberries and sugar over medium heat until slightly bubbling, then add butter.  Cook for one minute longer stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and place in sterilized jars and seal. 

Peaches:
Wash and split in half 4 peaches.  Do not remove skin. 
Sprinkle split side of peach with sugar and grill on medium until warm and soft. 

Place cut side up in bowl, add a generous portion of vanilla icecream and top with a dollop of raspberry preserve. 


I made this little gift tag to give some preserve to a friend, but it would make a lovely house warming gift. Just putthe preserve in a little basket with an icecream scoop, recipe and some fresh peaches. 

Enjoy!
