Tips for Roasting Stone Fruit:
- Choose ripe, firm fruit: Overripe fruit will become mushy when roasted, so it's important to start with fruit that is just ripe.
- Cut the fruit into uniform pieces: This will help the fruit cook evenly.
- Toss the fruit with a little oil, sugar, and spices: This will help the fruit caramelize and develop a delicious flavor.
- Roast the fruit at a high temperature: This will help the fruit caramelize and develop a crispy exterior.
- Keep an eye on the fruit while it's roasting: Fruit can burn easily, so it's important to watch it closely and remove it from the oven as soon as it's done.
