Recipe Notes

Peaches and pork just seem so right together. The addition of the sage and onions makes this simple topping for pork just a bit savory. This is a good example of using fats that are good for you like the olive oil with just a little butter to enhance the flavor and texture of the cooked peaches. It doesn’t take much – just a bit to finish off the sauce.

"Life is better than death, I believe, if only because it is less boring and because it has fresh peaches in it."
