How happy are you that summer is finally here?  Ok, that’s a trick question, because there’s not really any answer except, “very!” I mean, the brutal winter we had in New York this year felt like it would never end (okay, okay, I know I’ve mentioned this before, but let me have this). My hatred of snow reached new heights, and pretty much the only good thing that happened this winter was that the blizzard never actually turned into the doomsday that the weathermen were predicting.

But let’s leave all of that behind us now, and talk about how summer if finally here. Long days, lots of sunshine, relaxing on the beach (hah! I wish!) are all great, but let’s be real for a minute. The real thing we all love about summer is the food! Grilling pretty much makes everything better. Add in s’mores, cold refreshing drinks, and of course, the amazing produce.

You know what I’m talking about. Things like basil, which are awesome all year, but delicious and plentiful now. Things like corn on the cob, which is just amazing and sweet during the summer months. And things like blueberries, which are juicy and so readily available right now.

And things like stone fruits. You know what I’m talking about! Peaches, plums, nectarines. All so delicious,  juicy and dripping down your chin. You’re all bound to find yourselves with an abundance of them over the coming months, so you’ll be especially happy to have bookmarked this recipe. It’s easy to make, seasonal, and absolutely delicious.

    Is this closer to a southern cornbread or a northern corn muffin?

    This cake was absolutely delicious. It had a great flavor and the cornmeal added a wonderful texture. I used 1 peach and 2 plums for the fruit and it was perfect.
