Peaches and Plums
Peaches and plums are the fruit of the month this month. And they arrived at my doorstep RIPE! I can only eat so many as a snack, so they're in the refrigerator waiting for a new recipe to try. Ever grill peaches? Try this recipe for a new flavor.
Grilled Sirloin Skewers with Peaches and Peppers
Kebabs:
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
