Guest post by Riley Adams/Elizabeth S. Craig
Hi everybody! I’m excited to be back on
Mystery Lovers Kitchen today. I love
reading everyone’s posts here because, for some reason, I get especially
excited about food and eating in the summertime. Maybe that’s because of all the cookouts and
picnics at the swimming pool. Maybe it’s
just because of all the gorgeous produce that’s fresh and available on weekends
at my local farmer’s market. I just love
heading to the farmer’s market and going through the corn, okra, beans…and the
tomatoes are starting to look really yummy here, too.
And the peaches! We love peaches in our house. They’re sweetly perfect for snacking…we just
have to remember our napkins, since they’re always so juicy this time of year!
I thought about sharing a barbeque recipe
with y’all today, but then thought I might share something a little
lighter. I’d found a great recipe online
for apple crescent rolls...and I do really like apples. But peaches are more in season right now and
I’ve been craving them—so I switched it around a little.
It’s so easy to change the recipe and put
in your favorite fruit. Lots of
different possibilities…apples, bananas, berries…whatever is in season!
Peach Crescent Rolls
Ingredients:
2 Peaches, peeled and quartered
1 can of crescent rolls, divided into
triangles
1 cup sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup water
Cinnamon to taste (I like a tablespoon)
Greased baking dish
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Sprinkle cinnamon on the inside of each
doughy triangle.
Wrap triangles around each peach quarter
and put in prepared dish.
Boil sugar, water, and butter together,
stirring occasionally.
Pour mixture over the crescent
rolls. Sprinkle top with more cinnamon
and/or sugar, if desired.
Cook in preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Hope you’ll enjoy them! I know we
do.
Enjoy your summer...and Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! We're going to be having some more peach crescent rolls as a sweet treat for my husband today. :)
