Ingredients
Baked Blueberries and Peaches
- Ingredients
- 7 ozs Blueberries
- 4 ripe Peaches
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 4 Tbsps Maple syrup
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 ½ Tbsps sugar
Sort through blueberries and discard stems and shriveled fruit. Rinse well. Rinse peaches, halve fruit and remove pits. Transfer blueberries and peaches to a baking dish.
Rinse rosemary, shake dry and place on top of fruit.
Drizzle with maple syrup and cover dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes.
Separate egg (save yolk for another use). In a large bowl, whip egg white and salt with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Sprinkle with sugar and continue to whip until stiff.
Remove foil from baking pan. With a rubber spatula, spread meringue over the fruit. Bake uncovered another 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately.

Healthy, because
This fat-free dessert is just the thing after a substantial main meal. The fiber contained in berries and peaches stimulates the intestinal activity and thus supports digestion.
Even smarter
If you use really fully ripe fruit, use less maple syrup to keep the sweetness balanced.
