I spent the morning looking for inspiration for these gorgeous white peaches—the first I had ever found that actually tasted as beautiful as they looked. I searched through all my cookbooks, and dozens of magazines, but couldn’t find anything that didn’t require baking something. As much as I love baked goods, I was feeling a bit fat that morning, so anything baked would have taken me over the edge.

I kept thinking about Carrie’s blog, Deliciously Organic, and how she is always making such wholesome food. I came really close to making a blueberry white peach shortcake. Perhaps if I had seen her recipe for Whole Wheat Strawberry Shortcake, then I would have . . .

In the end, I decided a simple vanilla yogurt topped with some slices of peach, and a few blueberries to balance their mild flavor was the perfect solution. But something was still lacking. The three flavors, though delicate, needed something subtle, but more interesting. I had some rosewater in the cupboard, so I stirred a little splash of it into the yogurt. What resulted was exactly what I was looking for.

rosewater yogurt with white peaches and blueberries

4 cups organic vanilla yogurt
6 teaspoons rosewater
1 white peach, cut in slices
1/3 cup blueberries

In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt and rosewater. Divide among glasses. Top with peach slices and blueberries.

   Abby—You can find it in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking stores. I found it on amazon here:

   Just make sure whatever you buy says it’s suitable for cooking and not the kind you use for cosmetics.

    One of the best breakfasts around is fruit and yogurt and now I know to add a little rosewater to mine as well!

    Any suggestions on where to buy rosewater? I wonder if Wegmans have it? With peaches in season right now what a great way to use them.
