Fourth of July dessert recipes can be as simple as layering fresh raspberries and blueberries from the Denver garden.

Colorado peaches from the Denver garden taste delectable and juicy in Fourth of July dessert recipes. Try using peaches from the Denver garden in place of the apples in apple crisp.

Bake until peaches are cooked and topping is brown and bubbly.
