Easy Peach and Cherry Dessert Recipe

by POPSUGAR Food 0

When hosting a Summer barbecue, it's a good idea to have an easy and effortless dessert that takes advantage of the delicious bounty of the season. This simple recipe of cooked balsamic cherries mixed with peaches is the perfect ending to a warm night.

I served the dessert in small tumblers by itself, but one could easily jazz up the fruit mixture by pairing it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, cheesecake or a shortcake. This recipe could also be made with blackberries instead of cherries. Bring home some cherries and peaches from the market to get started on this recipe.
