Fresh Peach & Raspberry Clafoutis

Raspberry Peach Clafoutis (pronounced “klafuti”) is a traditional French dessert made with seasonal fresh fruit, covered in a thick custard-like batter, then baked. It is often served warm with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.  I served mine with the optional confectioners’ sugar and a spoon!

The red raspberries were plump and ripe but the black raspberry bushes were thick and heavy with an enormous amount of fruit.
