You know it's summer when there's beautiful stone fruit. 

Sweet, juicy and delicious! To ripen them, place in a brown bag and leave them on the counter.  When fruit feels soft but firm to the touch it’s ripe. There is nothing like fresh fruit. It's also a perfect snack for the kids!  

My first memory of fresh peaches begin with my grandmother's peach cobbler. When she handmade the cobbler, I always looked forward to it and it also kicked off the summer for me. What recipes will you make with fresh fruit this year?
