Hello and welcome back to The Stone Soup Cook!
Today, I’m bidding a fond farewell to basil week. I have enjoyed celebrating this wonderful and versatile herb with you and I’m looking forward to experimenting with it more as the summer goes by.
For today’s post, I’m featuring a very special dessert using, you guessed it–sweet basil! The dessert is this gorgeous peach and sweet basil cobbler:
I know this recipe may sound counterintuitive, but trust me–it’s delicious!!
To come up with it, I fooled around with my basic peach cobbler recipe and came up with this absolutely scrumptious take on the classic. In it, the sweet, honey nectar of the peaches is given a new dimension with the spicy clove, licorice and pepper of the sweet basil.
A note: I don’t bother to peel my peaches for my cobbler–I am not offended by the fuzziness of the skin, but if you are, you should remove the skins before baking!
Tune in next week when we’ll be taking a deep dive into zucchini!
Until then,
Peace, love and good food,
Keri
