This Fresh Peach–Raspberry Medley comes from The Belle Beure B&B in Lakeside, Michigan, where it likely graced summer breakfasts or light brunches. Combining the juicy sweetness of fresh sliced peaches with tart raspberries and a hint of citrus from orange juice and Cointreau, this chilled fruit dish is refreshing and elegant. Served topped with whipped cream and mint leaves, it’s a simple yet sophisticated treat that captures the flavors of summer in every spoonful.
