Chef John's Peach Blackberry Flognarde
I was searching for a fitting name for this unique blend of peaches, blackberries, thyme, and black pepper, reminiscent of a clafoutis. I stumbled upon an article mentioning that in France, a clafoutis using fruits other than cherries is called a flognarde. The word "flognarde" amused me so much that even if this recipe hadn't turned out as delicious as it did, I'd still make it regularly, just for the joy of saying "flognarde."
