They’re better than Georgia peaches. And everyone around here will tell you that.
(Georgians — try not to take offense.)

Peach season comes round this time of year and I can’t get enough of them. There’s just something about biting in to a ripe peach freshly picked from a roadside produce stand, juice running down your chin. It reminds me of childhood.
But peaches are good for more than just snacking — though I do love me a good peach at breakfast, at lunch, after dinner … or really any time. Try these awesome options for the peaches sure to be harvested near you:

Peach Salsa
Because, as I’ve explained before, everything I eat involves salsa…
Chop fresh peaches, and combine with diced tomatoes, peppers, and onions.
Season with lime juice, chili powder, and cilantro
Add salt and pepper to taste
Try adding a smidgen of brown sugar to bring out the peaches juices!
Refrigerate and serve

Baked Peaches
There are a lot of ways to prepare this dish, so get ready to experiment!
Preheat the oven to 350F
Wash, halve, and pit the peaches.
Hollow each half out a bit more, and add your favorite stuffing
I like to use a simple mixture of chopped pecans, honey, and brown sugar (or ginger sugar)
Others use ginger snap crumbs, bread crumbs, or granola to fill them
Bake 20 min (or until lightly browned), skin down.
Enjoy alone, or with ice cream, whipped cream, or greek yogurt!
Other ways to enjoy:
Peach Cobbler (or pie)
Cooked down for a pancake compote
Peach Preserves or Butter
Baked into muffins or cakes Topping for Ice Cream or Oatmeal Frozen as a simple snack Smoothies!Tagged: chilton county, dessert, Gluten Free, healthy dessert, healthy snacks, peaches, seasonal foods, Vegan, Vegetarian Image may be NSFW.
