Simple Summer Dessert

So need something to do with the rest of that heavy cream? Make dessert!

This is quick and easy and you can start preparing while waiting for dinner to cook, but I recommend you do the whipped cream right before serving.

This will make about 4 servings so adapt for your family accordingly.

Ingredients:
*1 large firm peach, cut into small pieces
*1c fresh blueberries
*Juice from 1/2 an orange (try Mineolas) or 2 tablespoons OJ
*1 teaspoon brown sugar
*1/2c heavy cream (or more if you want more whipped cream)
*2 tablespoons granulated sugar
*1 tablespoon Amaretto liquor (optional- and this is not enough to get your kids drunk!)

The Making:
In a plastic container or bag mix the peaches, blueberries, brown sugar and orange juice. Mix well and let sit in fridge for at least an hour and up to 24 hours (good to do this step while dinner is cooking in the oven).

Right before serving beat on high the heavy cream, sugar, and Amaretto until it forms peaks when lifted.

Spoon the fruit mix into bowls, top with whipped cream and EAT!

Tips ans talk:
Everyone loved this and it is a nice cool treat to substitute for that nightly ice cream. Play around with the fruits and add or substitute whatever you like!
