{ baked fruit }

How have you been? My February has started the same way my year did. I have been busy balancing between new projects at work and writing food posts for Lily. (It's only in Finnish but I'd love it if you stopped by to see my new column there!) I have sat in the train between two cities for work and went to the cottage with B last weekend.

Cooking after work has been very simple: a few quick curries, spaghetti and garlic tomato sauce (and maybe some take-away Chinese too). On a busy night, having an easy dessert recipe up your sleeve makes all the difference. This one is a real weeknight treat.

Ingredients (serves 4-6)

- 6-10 stone fruit; plums, nectarines, peaches
- 1 vanilla bean
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- juice of 1 orange
- vanilla ice cream for serving

Halve and stone the fruit. You can cut the biggest halves into a few rough slices. Put the fruit into an oven dish. Slice vanilla bean in half lenghtwise and scrape off the seeds. Mix the seeds with melted butter, and add in sugar and orange juice. Pour the mixture on top of the fruit and toss to coat.

(Put the remaining vanilla bean into a jar of sugar - it will turn into fragrant vanilla sugar in a few days.)

Bake at 400 F (200 C) for 10-15 minutes until the fruit looks soft and juicy. Layer baked fruit and vanilla ice cream in small glasses and serve.

What a simple and delicious dessert! I love hot fruit with ice cream. I've never tried it with peaches though! I just happen to have a vanilla ice cream in the freezer! So I think I should buy some peaches tomorrow. :)
The pork and pears recipe on Lily looks scrumptious! You definitely do a great job on Lily!

This is a great recipe but I have to wait for making it until the summer when peaches are in season. I don't like buying these kind of fruits at winter time because they are so tastless. I like it when they are frehs, produced in Hungary, sweet and juicy! :)

You posts on Lily are wonderful. Congratulations!

I saw "Baked Fruit" and thought, "Oh! How lovely! A new breakfast recipe" And then I saw the ice cream and thought "This is the BEST breakfast recipe ever!"

Your photo is deliciously inviting...
I make the same treat, but I often use Greek yoghurt with a bit of sugar and vanilla instead of ice-cream - just to make it slightly more healthy :)

It's understandable that cash makes people autonomous. But how to act when someone doesn't have money? The one way is to receive the credit loans and college loan.

I absolutely adore iittala glassware! I always went to the shop after a visit to the Marimekko store in downtown Helsinki when I was there and just drooled. Couldn't afford, but I could look! :P
