Simple = good…. Macerated fruit

I have been doing this for years and it is always a favorite.  Most often with strawberries, but I have found it to work equally well with peaches.  I usually take about a pint of strawberries – or in this case 6 peaches – core, peel and slice them.  Squeeze about 1/2 lemon over them and add about 1 tbsp brown sugar.  Let this set in the refrigerator for most of the day, bring to room temperature and serve over pound cake, angel food cake or biscuits with a touch of creme fraiche.  The flavor combination of the sweet fruit, syrup and tart creme fraiche is a fan favorite and simple to do.  Thanks to KC for making the pound cake.   It was delicious and a worthy “7 minute” investment.
