peaches.



I arrived in Dordogne near the end of peach season. When they started rapidly falling off the trees, we (giddily) gathered up more than we knew what to do with.

We used most of them in a giant batch of compote. The peaches were so sweet, adding sugar wasn't even necessary.



With the rest we made a peach ginger pie, inspired by this cake. We just threw things together - peaches, fresh ginger, brown sugar, flour, etc -  nestled it into a flaky pastry crust, and topped it with some fresh figs.

you know...you're not that far away from germany right now...you should probably bake one of those, throw it as far as you can to the east, and i'll reach out my window and catch. 1...2...3...go!

Those peaches look amazing. I stocked up on peaches last weekend at the farmers market, but that is not quite the same as picking them off trees and the ground. That dessert looks delicious!

It has been wonderful to follow your travels. Thanks for all of the great posts!

Wow. I am so sad right now. I'm sad because I can't partake in any of this.

Seriously. I need this in my life.
