Raspberry Peach Clafoutis-2 Once again, I was thrilled to pick several baskets of red and black raspberries recently at Miller Farms Market and can’t wait to go back and pick blackberries too.  The red raspberries were plump and ripe but the black raspberry bushes were thick and heavy with an enormous amount of fruit.  I’ve saved some of those for a special dessert for the July 4th weekend.  They also are growing a small amount of purple raspberries which are new to me.  I only found about a dozen ripe purple raspberries but the bushes are new and may produce better next year.

Clafoutis (also referred to as a flan) is most often made with cherries and it’s my guess it was introduced to the United States by Julia Child.  In her cookbook Mastering the Art of French Cooking, Julia offers several variations made with a variety of fruits and liquors.  Even though I did not use her master Clafoutis recipe, I did study it and picked up a few tips and ideas.

    I have been wanting to try my hand at a clafoutis for awhile now. (Why, I have no idea…) You, obviously, are the best person to guide me! I’m not sure The Professor would go for it though. He really only likes chocolate desserts…I may have to wait until we have guests who can tell him how good it is. 😉

      Hey Sarah – so GREAT to hear from you! I peek in every now and then to check up on you. Hope all is well. You should make the clafoutis – and if there are leftovers – eat it for breakfast 🙂 This recipe could be easily halved. Enjoy! Hope you’re having a great summer.

    Yikes, I thought I had commented on this. Sometimes, when I get a new post by email, I read the whole post in the email and then think that I visited. Your clafoutis looks simply amazing! I just bought a nice bag of peaches that I’m waiting to ripen.

      Haha – I do the same thing Susan. Or I get a phone call or interruption in the middle of a comment. You’re going to love this clafoutis especially slightly warm. My husband enjoyed it cold for breakfast too! Thanks so much for stopping by and for taking the time to comment!

    These are beautiful Tricia! I love the color contrast and can’t thing of two summer fruits who more deserve to be together. I envy all your picking this summer. It’s so meditative to berry pick I think. Our local picking farms have been affected by the June and May rain so not sure what’s in store for us. In the meantime I know I can rely on you to dazzle with your pickings!

    I often see cherry clafoutis in restaurants, and of course peaches are a logical extension. Such a pretty dessert – with the peaches and raspberries, it’s even prettier than the original version. A gorgeous summertime treat!

    This is just gorgeous, Tricia! I made clafoutis once and I’m not sure I got it right. Now I know where to go when I want to attempt it again. I love eggy custards so this is right up my alley. A warm dessert is so comforting and yet you manage to make it more than sophisticated and elegant enough for company.

      Thank you Monica – I had the same experience – I wasn’t sure the first one I made (years ago) was the way it was supposed to be but it probably was. I thought it was supposed to be more like cake and less like custard – eggy custard is good!

      Sue – The first time I made a clafoutis I thought it didn’t set up correctly because is was more like custard – not cake. Little did I know that it had turned out perfectly. Guess I should have done more research! It is not terribly sweet which is really nice too. Enjoy!!! I am sure you will come up with a fantastic fruit combination and have it garnished beautifully 🙂 Can’t wait!!!
