Get carried away with a summer crisp (we did!)
We love to serve out desserts at ZZest with a little something more. Chef Hillary’s favorite combo is a drizzle of light flavored honey, like orange blossom or tupelo, smoked sea salt, and High road Masala Chai ice cream.

Have you noticed? We have a crush on summer peaches. — Editor
For fruit: 2 containers of fresh strawberries cleaned and cut into quarters 6 peaches cut into rustic chunks ½ cup Gracious Gourmet Peach Apricot Preserves 2 tablespoons flour 2 tablespoons vanilla bean paste ¼ cup white sugar Mix together in large bowl Topping: 2 cups flour ½ cup sugar 1 stick unsalted butter 1 tablespoon cinnamon ½ tablespoon salt Mix together all ingredients except butter. Slowly add butter mixing until everything just comes together but looks like corn meal. Pour ½ the fruit into a buttered dish, sprinkle with ½ cup flour mixture. Pour the rest of the berries and finish topping with the rest of the flour mixture. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes
The first time I heard about these peaches was on the radio, and it happened to be on the day they were selling them. I drove straight over. That was two years ago and I am still thinking about those peaches. Amazing! Rochester Area Youth for Christ has been selling delicious Colorado peaches for 8 years. Last year they added Georgia peaches which will arrive around June 27th. For more info check out their website http://rochesterarea.yfc.net/ministries/peaches. See you in line but, beware, I’m buying for the café too. I’ll try to save you some!
