Peaches!

(1/4) > >>

DocBuzzkill:
Along with tomatoes and sweet corn, peaches are a true culinary pleasure of August.  There's nothing as excellent as a good, ripe peach.   One of the things I miss most about living in central NJ was the fabulous peaches from Terhune Orchards.  Unfortunately, Masshole peaches just don't compare, but they can be OK.  Plus, some decent (but still not Jersey quality) Georgia peaches have been showing up in my local market.

I'm liking peaches on the savory side these days.  Last weekend, an AllRecipes video inspired me to grill slices of peaches wrapped in strips of proscuitto. I stuck these on 2-pronged skewers then grilled them over coals for maybe 2 to 3 minutes (6 minutes total time, I think), turning them until the edges of the proscuitto became crisp and the fruit starting to caramelize.  I served them with a small scoop of cow's milk burrata cheese, dressed with a little EVOO, kosher salt, freshly ground pepper, and basil chiffonade.  It made a delicious light lunch!  I think it could also work as a dessert.

So, what are your favorite ways to prepare and eat peaches, other than the classic eat-a-peach?

I think I did a creamy peach pasta sauce involving caramelized onion and I think red pepper flakes once when I had some peaches show get left at my house.  I may have to find that again, but I remember it being very, very good.

Natasha:
Peach season is June here, I can’t remember if we even had any this year. But I do love them grilled.

Rejaneration:
Those sound delicious, Doc! I am not a huge fan but love peach cobbler and grilled with prosciutto!

We grilled peaches last night with butter, maple,and cayenne.  I put the last peach (not grilled yesterday) on a pizza this evening.  Because why not.
