Sweet and Savory Peach Recipes You Need to Try

Peach recipes are the ultimate taste of summer, from classic cobblers and pies to refreshing drinks, easy brunch dishes, and even creative savory peach recipes perfect for dinner.

Why Cook with Fresh Peaches?

Fresh peaches aren’t just delicious—they’re also nutritious.

They’re rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants while remaining low in calories. They can be used in a multitude of recipes, both sweet and savory.

While canned and frozen peaches have their place, there’s nothing like the flavor of ripe peaches picked in peak season.

When selecting fresh peaches, look for fruit that gives slightly when gently pressed and carries that unmistakable peachy fragrance.

Avoid overly firm peaches (they may never ripen properly) or bruised ones.

Both yellow and white peaches are excellent for recipes. Yellow peaches offer a tangy flavor, while white peaches provide a sweeter and milder taste.

Tips for Cooking and Baking with Peaches

• Peel with ease: To remove skins, score peaches with an “X,” blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer to ice water. The skins will slip right off.
• Prevent browning: Toss sliced peaches with lemon juice to keep them looking vibrant in fruit salads or desserts.
• Store correctly: Ripe peaches can be refrigerated to extend shelf life, but are best eaten within a few days. For unripe peaches, keep them at room temperature until softened.
