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?

MMMMMM – Summer Peaches (and Nectarines)!!! – In addition to just loving ripe peaches cut up and doused with a generous amount of heavy cream – Panzanella is another favorite! Just did a post on that 🙂 http://www.mytastyplanet.me/single-post/2017/06/12/Nectarine-Panzanella

Stone fruit tart with an almond pâte sucrée- my favorite tart! Very simple but visually appealing. It’s also an easy and quick way to use up a few fruits!
Simple, Delicious Country Peaches
PEACHES N CREAM & PEANUT BUTTER TOAST
4-6 ripe, juicy peaches
1/4 – 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Bread for toasting
Crunchy Peanut Butter
Heavy Whipping Cream
Peel, pit and slice 4-6 peaches or however many you want
Add approximately 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar to the peaches. Stir. Allow to rest approx. 30 minutes so they make their own syrup
Toast 4-6 slices of bread. (I prefer the broiler method for this– pre-butter before you put in)
Slather toast with crunchy peanut butter
Ladle up peaches & juice into a bowl
Pour on some heavy cream
Dive in! Your tongue will slap yo’ face it is so darned good.
This may sound weird, but trust me. This IS the best tasting thing since sliced bread. And I suppose it is definitely a ‘southern thang’. I grew up eating this for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks…anytime there were fresh peaches. My Aunt & Uncle ran a small dairy farm just outside Oklahoma City when I was young and we’d sneak out to the milk vat early in the morning before they turned the mixers on and get that farm fresh cream off the top for those summer peaches. Enjoy! ~~Aunt Betty
A fast and easy dessert and gets oohs and ahhhs…..PEACH EN PAPILLOTE…for 2 people:
Cut a whole sheet of parchment paper in half. FOld each half. Open and arrange peach slices in starburst pattern. In the center, add a small dollop of apricot or peach jam, top with a teaspoon of toasted almond pieces, then a squirt of amaretto. DOt with butter. Then fold over the top parchment paper and crimp the edges like a half moon, Tuck the end underneath. Put the parcels on cookie sheet and bake in a Very hot oven ….375 degrees….for about 15 minutes. place on dessert plate and using scissors, cut through th top parchment revealing the warm sliced peaches. Put a small scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center.
There’s always peach jam–I made some with farmers market peaches, using low-sugar pectin (Pomona’s). I like it plain, but you could always experiment with the flavors…
What a wonderful resource this is turning out to be. I just did a low fat Peach Mango Ice Cream, and I think you could do just a peachy version too. I absolutely love stone fruit, and love your blog too.
Pie!!! I just make a standard pie crust and FILL it with chopped peaches/stone fruit. Add a bit of sugar depending on how sweet you like it and some lemon juice for a bit of acidity. With a lattice top it is stunning and tastes AMAZING!!!
The day I became a foodie was the day in grade 10 when, as a requirement of our english teacher, our class started a tradition of taking our opposite sex parent for lunch on Valentine’s Day. The tradition lasted in our family for several years, but the revelation of a peach stuffed chicken breast lasted longer. If only the rest of the details did not escape me… I believe their may have been wild rice involved as well…. Please jump on my memory and make some magic!
If you have anymore of those juicy peaches left. Here’s my recommendation. though I can’t lie, just a peach in hand and a sunset is a great way to enjoy. http://localforkful.com/2013/07/10/peach-bourbon-crostata/
Peach Ice Smoothie – peaches, ice, blender – a bit of o.j. blend and enjoy – keep the skins on as they add flecks of color and just a tad of texture – with perfectly ripe peaches, this is Summer in a Cup!
I just made a blackberry-peach pie that I loved: http://tutti-dolci.com/2013/07/blackberry-peach-pie/
