So simple and versatile, this is easily doubled if you are expecting company. The dish works with a variety of fruits (including frozen peaches and dried plums!); try apricots and bananas, or in the fall use apples and walnuts. Prep tip: Using bottled minced garlic from the store is perfectly fine; keep a jar on hand.
