Ok, so peach season has slipped away and the wind has picked up. It's getting chilly out. Sigh!
The dreaded 8 months of Winter is nigh upon us.
How about a bit of Summer mixed with a smidge of Fall? Alright. Since the weather isn't cooperating for a hike and a photo shoot, I might as well bake.
Oh, wait! I'm always baking ....something... :) —Miss_Karen

Directions
-
Pour butter into a 9-in. square baking pan; sprinkle with brown sugar and minced ginger.
Arrange peaches over sugar; set aside. (I used white peaches this time.)
(* If you use Starfruit, just slice them thinly and arrange neatly.) * Cortland apples don't oxidize, so they retain their normal color.
-
For gingerbread, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, then molasses.
-
Combine dry ingredients; add to sugar mixture alternately with tea, beating well after each addition.
-
Pour the batter over the fruit. Tap gently on the counter to allow the batter to settle on top of the fruit.
-
Bake at 350°F. for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm. Garnish with whipped cream.
