Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 F. Bring large pot of water to boil. Add peaches, half at a time. Cook 30 seconds; remove with slotted spoon and rinse under cold water until cool. Peel; cut into 3/4-inch thick slices. Place in large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar and cornstarch. Add to sliced peaches; gently mix. Stir in raspberries until just combined. Pour into 13-by-9-by-2-inch glass baking dish.

Bake for 15 minutes.

In medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, 1 1/4 tsp of the cinnamon, the ginger, baking soda, nutmeg and salt; stir well to break up lumps of brown sugar. Add butter; cut in with pastry blender or two knives used scissors fashion, until crumbly. Add buttermilk; stir until soft dough forms. Turn out dough onto floured surface; roll to coat with flour. Knead lightly 4 times. Roll dough to 11-by-8-inch rectangle on floured surface; transfer to top of peach mixture. With sharp knife, score pastry in 1 1/2-inch wide diagonal strips. Sprinkle with remaining granulated sugar and cinnamon.

Bake 25 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and top is well browned. If desired, during last 5 minutes, break up crust into fruit mixture. Serve warm with ice cream or heavy cream.
