There’s nothing quite like a perfectly ripe peach.
Fragrant, sweet, and impossible to eat without juice running all over your hands and chin, peaches are a love letter from the season.
A few summers ago, on an overcast August afternoon, I visited a local orchard with my mom, my daughter, and my oldest son, who was just a baby at the time. The peaches were so beautiful that we picked an entire bushel of those sweet, juicy fruits. Back in the kitchen, I peeled, diced, mixed, puréed, and baked away, turning that abundant harvest into a variety of simple recipes that celebrate peaches.
What started as a sweet afternoon together quickly became a reminder of how delightful it can be to cook seasonally and let one special ingredient shine.
Recipes to Celebrate Summer’s Favorite Fruit

Peaches are typically relegated to dessert recipes, and while they are a delicious addition to pies and cobblers, they also work wonderfully in savory dishes, summer drinks, and homemade condiments.
