I will keep a can of peaches in the pantry from now on. This is great for one of those days when you need a last minute dessert. I can't wait to try it on top of a piece of homemade pound cake.

This is the solution to "What'll I have for dessert?" "I can't be bothered to make dessert?" "Wish I didn't have to cook today!!" This is beyond simple and easy. Served in a wine or martini glass with ice cream or whip cream and it is fit for company. I imagine it would be just fine with any fresh or canned fruit. I bet bananas and blueberries would be great with this. Talk about easy!! Thanks CountryLady
