HEALTH BEGINS IN THE KITCHEN


Caramelized Peaches and Ice Cream


by Dr. Joanne Mumola Williams ~ www.FoodsForLongLife.com


DIRECTIONS: Adjust the oven rack to 5


inches from the broiling el- ement and turn the oven on broil. Drop the peaches in a


saucepan of boiling water and boil for 30 seconds to loosen their skins. Remove the peaches from the pan and gently remove their skins. Cut the peaches in half and discard the pits. Arrange the peach halves

Sonoma County, CA. ~ As this pandemic enters it’s fifth month, I hope you and your family are well. As of this writing, our family has fortunately re- mained healthy but like many of you, we have not been able to visit our chil- dren or grandchildren as they are spread across the country from Portland to Minneapolis. What has brought us great


joy and kept us somewhat sane during this stressful time has been gardening and cooking. And what better time and place to do that than in Northern Cali- fornia during late summer when fruits and vegetables


are plentiful in our gardens and markets? Speaking of summer


fruits, what’s better than a ripe California peach? It’s hard to beat just biting into one but if you want to enjoy a very elegant des- sert with little effort, here’s something to try. Creamy ice cream on a warm, car- amelized peach combined with the crunch of sliced almonds will delight all of your senses and bring a smile to your face – and who doesn’t need that right now? Make sure you use


peaches that are ripe enough to easily separate in half.

Mrs. Golden was shopping at a produce stand in her neighborhood. She approached the vendor and asked, “How much are these oranges?”


“Fifteen cents,” answered the vendor.


“Two for a quarter,” answered the vendor. “How much is just one?” she asked.


“Then I’ll take the other one,” said Mrs. Golden.
