This was very good. I made a half recipe as directed. Some minor changes I would make would be to use brown sugar next time, and drain the peaches prior to putting them into ramekins as there was a lot of juice at the bottom. But overall a great recipe for your sweet tooth. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
