Instruction

  • Peel and slice the peaches. Place the peach slices and blueberries in a bowl and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar (or more depending on how sweet the fruit is). Mix gently to distribute the sugar and allow to sit for approximately 30 minutes.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Whisk in the milk and vanilla.
  • Pour the batter evenly over the melted butter but do not stir.
  • Stir the basil into the fruit mixture.
  • Pour the sweetened fruit and basil mixture over the butter. Do not stir together.
  • Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until crust is brown and fruit is bubbly.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool for approximately 15 minutes.
  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and additional basil.
