Ingredients for 8 servings:
1. 1 lb cherries, pitted and halved
2. 1 lb peach, peeled and sliced
3. 1 cup sugar
4. 1 tablespoon cinnamon
5. 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
6. 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
7. 3 tablespoons sugar
8. 2 teaspoons baking powder
9. 1/4 teaspoon salt
10. 1/2 cup buttermilk
11. 1/2 cup heavy cream
12. 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
13. 1/4 cup butter, melted
14. 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Combine the fruit in a bowl with the sugar, cinnamon and orange liquor and pour into a 9×13 inch or 4 quart casserole dish.
2. In a mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. After the dry ingredients are thoroughly blended, add the buttermilk, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and cold butter in quick succession, combining only briefly, to leave the mixture as lumpy as possible.
4. Pour dough onto a lightly floured board and flatten gently with a rolling pin into a shape approximately 1-inch thick and just large enough to cover the top of the fruit in the dish completely.
5. Place dough over fruit and seal edges so that the fruit is enclosed. Make 1 or two vent holes depending on the size pan used.
6. Brush the dough with melted butter, and sprinkle the top with sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry top is nicely browned.
