Favorite Peach Recipes
We just can’t get enough of great Summer peaches. Luscious, juicy and drippy sweet stone fruit in any shape or form is one of the most special treats of the season. Our yearly Summer highlights include taking time to drive to different roadside fruit stands. Visiting different local farms that sell their peach or stone fruit is like walking into a candy store. A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to score whole flat of perfectly ripe and super sweet peaches for only $7.90. We literally won the peach lottery. That’s what it feels like when you get to dive into a ton of Summer peaches that were ripened to perfection.
Indulge in Summer Peaches
Now, we’re not stopping because all of the seasons wonderful stone fruit are still overflowing at the markets and fruit stands. It’s hard for us to not walk away with ten pounds worth of peaches and other stone fruits. We’ll eat them until we can’t breathe anymore. A dinner for us can easily be a couple of stone fruits and a glass of sparkling rose. Peaches and rose are perfection together. But aside from enjoying them fresh, what would you do with an overload of peaches that you can’t eat fast enough? We’re starting to have this problem (a very good dilemna) of having an overload of peaches. Got any favorite recipes to share?

Peaches Piached with Basil http://therunawayspoon.com/blog/2010/06/peaches-poached-with-basil/. What you will do with the syrup! And Peach Butterbourbon Sauce http://therunawayspoon.com/blog/2011/07/peach-butterbourbon-sauce/
When I get a glut that are going south fast, I tend to dry them: simplest preserving and dried peaches are great in granola, with nuts & jam over yogurt, in quick breads and baking, etc. I do a lot of peach preserving each year (scroll down to “peaches”): http://localkitchenblog.com/recipes/preserves/ My favorites are maple bourbon peach butter and peach cascabel BBQ sauce (particularly lovely on a pizza with smoked mozz & rings of red onion).
Easy Peach Cobbler
1 1/2 cup self-rising flour
8 tablespoon (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup water
2 cup sugar, divided (I use half granulated sugar and half Splenda)
4 cup peeled, sliced peaches
1 1/2 cup milk
ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt. Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes. To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Best peach cobbler EVER. Do it. Make it.
Hi there – Whenever I have a lot of fruit, a cobbler will always be in my near future! I actually made a strawberry peach cobbler last weekend – I added a pecan strudel topping and was pretty proud of myself. Check it out – http://grazinginthecity.com/2013/07/17/strawberry-and-peach-cobbler-with-pecan-strudel-topping/
I suppose they wouldn’t be so special and wonderful if we could get them year ’round – here’s a super simple one http://blog.ortensiablu.com/peach-and-blueberry-crostada/ – Have a peachy weekend!
Peach honey mustard – take one peach, a little honey and some Dijon mustard! It tastes so delicious and is a pleasant, fresh, dipping sauce for nuggets, etc.
I just made the People’s Pops recipe for roasted white peach and basil popcicles. Roast 5 peaches until warm and soft (20 minutes), purée them and then add 1 cup of simple syrup freshly nfused with fresh basil and strained. Pour into molds, freeze and enjoy a delicious frozen treat.
Grilled Peach and Summer Squash Salad with fresh tarragon and shaved Manchego.
A flat for $7.90?! I’m beyond jealous. I could live off of sweet juicy peaches from now until the end of summer and be perfectly content.
