Roasted peaches with honey and rosemary

Juicy peaches roasted until meltingly soft, coated in honey scented with fresh rosemary. A simple, bright, and very classic summer dessert, to be served warm.

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces ripe but firm yellow peaches
  • 4 tbsp wildflower honey
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 20 g unsalted butter
  • 0.5 pieces lemon
  • 1 pinch fleur de sel

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to medium-high heat until it is very stable; the baking dish should be able to slightly sear the fruit juices without drying them out.
  2. Wash the peaches, cut them in half, and remove the pits; keep the fruit halves whole so they hold up well during cooking.
  3. Arrange the peaches cut side up in a baking dish just large enough to hold them; they should be snug but not squished.
  4. Gently warm the honey with the butter, the rosemary, and a dash of lemon until you have a fluid, fragrant, and shiny syrup.
  5. Coat the peaches with the rosemary syrup, then add a very light touch of fleur de sel to awaken the fruit.
  6. Bake and roast until the peaches are tender, glossy, and slightly caramelized on the edges; baste with the pan juices halfway through cooking.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes out of the oven so the juice thickens slightly, then serve warm with the fragrant syrup recovered from the bottom of the dish.
