Roasted Peaches. This is one way to deal with overripe peaches. Cut any brown spots from the peaches. Preheat the oven to 400°F oven. Slice and pit 4 peaches. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a baking dish. Add and coat peaches. Roast until peaches are soft and cooking liquid looks like syrup, about 15 to 20 minutes. Brush the peaches with your syrup halfway through. Eat peaches alone, with yogurt, on your cereal, even on a chicken dish. Raspberry Peaches: Smash ½ cup of thawed, frozen raspberries with 2 teaspoons of honey, maple syrup, or sugar until it looks like a sauce. Cut peaches in half and remove the pit. Arrange cut side-up. Spoon the raspberry mixture and a spoonful whipped cream on top of the peach.
