"Cinnamoned Peaches or Oranges from Morocco. For the test recipe I used one of my favorite summertime fruits: white peaches. Fresh from the garden lemon verbena garnished the fruit beautifully! From 'The Arabian Delights'. Try other seasonal fruits: watermelon/honeydew, nectarines, cara cara oranges, blood oranges, etc."

I had to make this recipe using oranges as I chose the wrong time of year for peaches apparently. Anyway, I used navel oranges and it made for a very nice dessert. Made for NA*ME tag.

How can you go wrong with cinnamoned peaches? Tastes like peach pie, my favorite! Made for ZWT9.

Quite good! I loved the splash of orange. I went very light on the cinnamon and sugar and it was just perfect. Thanks for sharing! Made for Ramadan, 2013
