Ingredients

2 Med-large peaches (about 6-8 oz. each), peeled, halved, and pitted

1 tbsp. Lime juice, divided

1/2 c. Fresh raspberries (or strawberries, quartered)

2 tbsp. Unsweetened peach nectar

1/4 tsp. Almond extract

1 Pkt. Splenda (optional)

Curly lettuce leaves (optional)

Preparation

1) Carefully scoop out the pulp from the peach halves, leaving a 1/4 inch thick shell. (I use a grapefruit knife to make this job a snap.) Chop the pulp and set it aside. Brush the peach shells with 2 teaspoons lime juice to prevent browning. Set aside.

2) Combine the reserved pulp, the berries, the peach nectar, the remaining teaspoon of lime juice, and the almond extract in a small bowl. Toss gently to coat. If it tastes a little too tart, add a packet of Splenda. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the peach-berry mixture into each peach shell. Serve on curly-leaf lettuce leaves, if desired.

Cook's Notes

Tip: This recipe works best with ripe, in-season peaches. You can make it ahead - just cover and refridgerate until ready to serve.
