I LOVE BLUEBERRIES!
They’re sooo good for you! They’re loaded with vitamins and are high in fiber and low in fat. Recent studies tell us that of all fresh fruits and vegetables, blueberries provide the most health-protecting antioxidants, those valuable elements which prevent cancer-causing cell damage and may limit the changes wrought by age related diseases.
When a friend served me this dish, warm from the oven, topped with ice cream no less!, I knew I had to have the recipe. It’s one among many delicious recipes in my cookbook “Recipes & Recollections from The Better Baker”.
I think the marriage of peaches with blueberries results in the perfect match. Peaches are also great for your skin.
