As we creep closer to September, the window for cooking with fresh peaches rapidly closes.
Headed to the farmers market this weekend? Stock up on late-season peaches while you still can and put them to good use this weekend with this roster of recipes that goes beyond the usual pies and tart suspects (okay—we included a crisp, because you can't not make a crisp).
FRIDAY NIGHT DRINKS
It's Friday and the long work week is over—time for a drink. In this month's House Cocktail, we give the blender cocktail the respect it deserves. This one uses fresh peaches, whiskey, honey, and citrus juice.
SATURDAY LUNCH
We're all about toast these days. This carbo-stunner pairs sliced, fresh peaches with funky blue cheese, greens, honey, olive oil, and a hit of lemon juice.
SATURDAY AFTERNOON SNACK
It's hot out. Which means we need ice cream, stat. These cinnamon-spiked, paleta fruit pops are all the fun of making ice cream at home without any of the hard work or fancy equipment.
SATURDAY DINNER PARTY MAIN
Firing up the grill? Peaches play there too. Pair smokey peaches with a marjoram-dijon brined pork chops and a quick pole bean side salad.
SUNDAY BRUNCH
We love sweet-savory brunch dishes like the dutch baby, a light and fluffy take on the traditional pancake. This version features both peaches and cherries, two summer produce superstars.
SUNDAY SUPPER DESSERT
Finally, end the weekend on a high note with this perfect crisp that gets baked directly in a trusty cast iron skillet. Bonus: If you're bringing this to a friends house, you've already got a container to transfer it in.
