Every year at the end of summer, I inevitably come home with a giant box of sweet, juicy peaches from a local orchard, or when I’m really lucky, I’m gifted peaches from a friend with a peach tree! It’s one of my favorite times of the year, and the perfect excuse to make all the fresh peach recipes I can before the season ends! These are some of my favorite ways to utilize fresh peaches (and nectarines, which are pretty much interchangeable with peaches) in the kitchen. From desserts to drinks, salads to pizzas, these recipes cover it all.
