Creator Notes
I genuinely have honest no longer too long within the past turn out to be hooked on the combination of peaches and basil. My dessert of substitute this summer has been vanilla bean ice cream with peaches poached in basil straightforward syrup, and I have been what else I would perhaps accomplish with the two. Why no longer place them in a tart shell? The cornmeal shell is gentle and affords a pretty salty contrast to the sweet, juicy peaches and basil baked inner. —duclosbe1
