Mascarpone Peaches

I found this luscious peach recipe last year. It was pleasing to the eye as well as the taste buds. So, on your next stop to your local farmer's market pick up some peaches. Eat them plain and enjoy their own sweet goodness or add a few simple ingredients and create a beautiful masterpiece.

Recipe tip: This recipe is from  Wegman's, a fanstastic grocery store that is convenient to me. The maple syrup can be whatever brand you like. I also did not prepare this recipe with the rasberry puree, but don't doubt it would be a great addition. Enjoy!
