A fresh peach eaten out of hand is one of life’s greatest pleasures. No argument there. But, once that crop starts hitting and peaches are available by the bushel, it’s only natural to want to find more delicious ways to use them up and enjoy them at their peak. The beautiful thing about this particular stone fruit is that they go from simple to simply fancy depending on your mood. Whether you like them casual or completely over the top, these fresh peach recipes are guaranteed to leave you with a little juice on your chin and a smile on your face. Long live stone fruit season!
Most of the peach recipes we rounded up for this particular collection are pitted firmly in the dessert category, but not all. There are a few that lean savory, like the Peach, Tomato and Mint Salad Stack. I’m also a huge fan of peaches on the grill, which just beg to be paired with the Peachy BBQ Sauce you’ll find down at #87. Some people feel strongly that fruit does not belong in an entree, and all I can say about that is that, well…more for those of us who know better. 😉
However you serve them, when you start with a beautiful peach, you just can’t go wrong.
Budget Tip: Make friends with your local farmers! If you find yourself tempted to try lots of recipes, contact your local orchard or farmer’s market and see if you can get your hands on some seconds. We buy ours by the bushel, and we save a ton of money by buying those slightly imperfect peaches that don’t meet our local growers’ standards for market. Same goes for apples, plums and pears.

So excited for peach season! Can’t wait to put all these good recipes to use! I’m practically drooling just scrolling through this. Thanks for including my tomato 🍅peach 🍑 stacks!
I never knew that there are a lot of things we can do with peaches. I got so used eating them fresh from the can and as a topping to pies.
I am looking forward to try Peach Mint Salsa as well as the Grilled Peach and Onion Clutney.
