Oven-Roasted Fruit Recipe

A easy and elegant recipe by The Barefoot Contessa (foodnetwork.com) that I like to prepare from time to time during the summer or for a summer brunch.

Oven-Roasted Fruit



Recipe Summary
Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 to 8 servings

Ingredients:
6 peaches, pitted and cut into quarters or eighths
6 plums or Italian prune plums, pitted and quartered or halved
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons orange juice

Directions:
1.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

2. Place the peaches and plums snugly in a single layer, cut side up, in 2 glass or porcelain oven-proof baking dishes. Sprinkle with the sugar, and then top with the raspberries. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until tender.

3. Heat the broiler and place the fruit about 5 inches below the heat and broil for 5 to 8 minutes, until the berries release some of their juices.

4. Remove from the broiler and sprinkle with orange juice. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
