A couple weeks back, I was on AMHQ with Sam Champion and the gang, talking about peaches! It’s a new segment I’ll be doing called, “What’s in Season?” Scroll down for the delish bourbon peach parfait recipe…
Notice those gorgeous wooden serving trays? They’re hand made by my talented friend, Michael Courts. They are $260 for a set of three. Check out www.mcmeubel.com for his incredible work.
Here’s the segment if y’all missed it!

- Using a hand mixer, whip heavy whipping creams until soft peaks form. Scoop in both packages of marscapone with vanilla and honey or agave and continue to whip together until combined and smooth.
- Melt butter in small sauce pan and stir in brown sugar, cumin, salt and cayenne. Stir in pecans and coat and let simmer on low in pan for 10 minutes. Spread coated pecans on baking sheet to dry.
