Fresh Peaches and Plums w/ Mint and Ginger Syrup

Last night Toby treated us with a special dessert.

Here is what he did:

He gathered:

3 peaches

1 plum

Fresh mint (from our herb garden)

Ginger root

Sugar

He first cubed the peaches and plum and set them aside. He finely blended together a small portion of mint and ginger with a bit of water and heated them over the stove to make a simple syrup. (He added sugar to taste.)

Next he slowly warmed the peaches and plum over the stove, just to bring their juices out and make them a little softer. After he divided out the fruit into two bowls, he drizzled some of the mint/ginger syrup on top of each portion.

He also made whipped cream from scratch and added nutmeg and cinnamon to the concoction.

It was D-licious!
