Roasted Honey Apricots

Summer is a fruit and berry season. The variety of these gifts of nature makes every day of summer even more bright and colorful. In June - lots of red and blue colored berries - strawberries, red and black currants, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries. In July stone fruits - apricots, plums, peaches - are in season.

I think it would be inexcusable not to use seasonal fruits in the kitchen, while they are so rich in  flavor! And so beautiful, isn't it?

But because of such a variety I am totally at a loss! What to use? Peaches? Or maybe plums? Or apricots? Or maybe all together? And add some cherries on top?...Yep, these are my every day thoughts).

Don't be afraid. I'm fine.) I'm am a calm and quite person, mostly...)

Yesterday I was thinking about making some easy dessert, quick and no-bake (this heat in Kyiv makes me go into a frenzy...Thanks God, for air-conditioners!! ...and for a lot of lakes and rivers around).
