Best peaches for roasting

Use ripe and slightly soft yellow peaches to achieve the tastiest roasted peaches. Soft on the outside with a very fragrant smell.

You can remove the pit easily with your ripe peaches and not lose the precious juice.

Vanilla Sugar and How to make it

The recipe required vanilla sugar. I make my vanilla sugar but add all the seeds and the outer pod of a vanilla bean to a jar of regular sugar.

I have been doing this for years, and it is not only super easy but a much better way to flavor your sugar.

Having handy vanilla sugar is always a wonderful thing. It has so many uses. From coffee to dessert, a small jar is something we all should have in our pantry.

Here is the easiest way to make it:

• You only need sugar and a vanilla bean pod that you will split.
• Remove the tiny black seeds and put everything together in a jar.
• Shake and set aside.

It stores well, and you will be amazed at how often you use it.

Vanilla sugar adds a light flavor to so many different recipes.

Baking tips and step-by-step instructions on how to make baked peaches

I recommend having all your ingredients ready when you start with this recipe.

• Slice open your peaches with a sharp knife along the lower ridge of your peaches.
• Remove the pit and place it on a gratin dish with high borders to contain the peaches.
• Sprinkle honey all over and place into the preheated oven.

Meanwhile, prepare your mascarpone cream:

• Mix the mascarpone, vanilla sugar, and lemon juice,

Once the peaches are done, soft, spread the mascarpone in the cavity of the peach with the help of a spatula.

How to store your reheated baked peaches

If you are lucky to have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to two days.

If you know you will have leftovers, I always make more and have one half now and one later, do not add the mascarpone, but store it separately.

Bring the peaches back to room temperature, and add it to the oven, 350F, for five to ten minutes, just enough to be warm.

Spread the mascarpone cheese mixture over it, and you get to enjoy your roasted peaches twice.

The uses are endless, and with the baking season just around the corner,  you will be ahead of the game.

Enjoy this Mascarpone Roasted Peaches dessert now, as the peaches are in season and super sweet. Perfect afternoon snack for the little one’s also.
