Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and spices.
- In another bowl, toss the fruit with the vanilla, and orange juice.
- In a roasting pan or oven-proof baking dish, arrange the fruit cut-side up pouring any extra juice in the baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and spices.
- Roast for approximately 20 minutes or until the fruit is fork tender.
- Serve the roasted fruit over vanilla bean ice cream accompanied by a shortbread cookie. You could also serve fruit with fresh whipped cream or creme fraiche and use it as a filling or topping for crepes.

- Peaches and Cream: Roast peaches with cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve with sweetened cream in between sliced buttermilk biscuits.
