Fresh Peaches in Strawberry Cream

YUM!

---

6 lg. fresh ripe peaches, peeled, pitted and sliced

juice from 1 fresh lemon

1/3 C. water

3 T. granulated sugar

2 C. fresh strawberries

1/3 C. granulated sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 C. heavy whipping cream, whipped stiff

---

Prepare the peaches as indicated, then toss with the lemon juice. Boil the

water and first measure of sugar until the sugar dissolves. Pour the hot

simple syrup over the sliced peaches. Cover and let the peaches cool in the

syrup. Reserving 1 large whole strawberry for garnish, puree the remaining

berries in your food processor, adding the remaining sugar and vanilla.

Slowly fold the berry puree into the whipped cream, cover and chill several

hours before serving. Arrange the drained peaches in a chilled serving dish.

Spoon the strawberry cream over the peaches and serve immediately,

garnished with the reserved whole berry. Mint leaves will look good, if

desired. Makes 6 servings.
