3 tablespoons olive oil, divided 1 cup chopped sweet onion (such as Vidalia or Maui) 3 cups fresh corn kernels (cut from about 3 ears of corn) 2 cups low-salt chicken broth 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided 1 cup (or more) water 1 teaspoon green chilies, minced Fresh cilantro leaves, optional

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon lime zest 4 (8- to 9-ounce) peaches, peeled, halved, pitted and sliced ¾ cup water ½ cup sugar ½ to ¾ teaspoon ground cardamom 2 – 4 tablespoons crushed pistachios Ice cream, crème fraiche, ricotta or peach sherbet if desired. 1.Place the sliced peaches in a medium bowl. 2.Mix the lime juice and the zest together and drizzle over the peach slices. Toss gently to be certain all slices are coated. 3.In a small saucepot, mix the water, sugar and cardamom over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Raise the heat until the syrup begins to boil. Reduce the heat to a steady simmer. Continue to cook until syrup is reduced by 1/3, about 10 to 12 minutes. 4.Cool syrup slightly 5.Arrange peaches for serving. Top, if desired, by choice of ice cream, crème fraiche, ricotta or peach sherbet. Sprinkle with pistachios. Drizzle with warm syrup and serve.  This is a great variation on a standard biscuit- a bit sweeter but with the subtle zing of lime to complement summer's berries and fruits.
