Tastiest Recipes using fresh peaches!

So you bought a lot of fresh produce at the farmer’s market?

How do I choose a good peach?

Look for peaches that are a little soft but not mushy and without any visible bruises. Also, it should have a pleasant aroma. Avoid peaches that are green around the stem or those at the other extreme and have wrinkled skin.

If your only option is slightly underripe peaches, simply put them in a brown paper bag, fold them, and let them sit on your countertop. It should take only one to two days for them to become fragrant and colorful.

What pairs well with peaches?

I like these spices: cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, mint, basil, ginger, honey.

Other stone fruits, such as nectarines, apricots, cherries, and plums, pair well with peaches. Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, lemons, and limes also complement peaches.

Liquors that go well with peaches are bourbon, brandy, and amaretto. Additionally, white wine and peaches make a wonderful sangria.

For dairy pairings, try vanilla ice cream, mascarpone, yogurt, blue cheese, goat cheese, or feta cheese.

What can I do with lots of peaches?

You can freeze them. To freeze peaches, peel, then slice the peaches. Next, toss them in lemon juice. This will prevent them from turning brown. Next, lay a sheet of parchment paper on a baking pan (that fits in your freezer) and spread the peach slices on the parchment paper in a single layer. Freeze for 4 hours or overnight. Transfer the frozen peach slices to a freezer bag, and remove as much air from the bag as possible before sealing. They’ll keep in the freezer for 2 months.
