Ingredient Substitution Guide

directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Step 2

For graham topping, toss graham cracker crumbs, sugar, spices and salt in a bowl. Using the wide grate on a cheese grater, grate cold butter over flour mixture and stir in gently to blend. Stir in nuts.

Step 3

For fruit, toss peaches with lemon juice (this will prevent browning). Toss in berries, lemon zest and honey.

Step 4

Bring cream and orange zest to just below a simmer over moderate heat. In a bowl, whisk sugar and egg yolks. Slowly pour hot cream over sugar mixture, whisking constantly. Return mixture to low heat and stir with a wooden spoon until sauce coats the spoon, about 4 minutes. Strain and stir in orange liqueur. Chill completely before serving. Makes about 1 cup.

Step 5

Spoon fruit into six 8-ounce ramekins (pack the fruit in – it will settle as it bakes) and top with crisp topping. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes, until fruits juices are bubbling. Serve warm with Orange Crème Anglaise.
