In Season: Peaches

Now is the time to enjoy the freshness of locally grown peaches. They are my favourite and I like to use them for everything. They are inexpensive to buy, and delicious in both savoury and sweet recipes. In the morning add peaches to yogurt, add some nuts and honey and that is a great start to your day. They are also delicious in pancakes topped with a dollop of fresh whipped cream and mint. Try peaches grilled lightly on the BBQ and toss in salad, with mixed greens, feta or goat cheese and chopped walnuts. Top with a simple oil and apple cider dressing. That salad is made to impress!
Peaches are also great in meat dishes such as pork or ham, or glazed over any meat for great presentation. Try cinnamon dusted peaches with ice cream, or our favourite peach crumble. So simple to make we use about 3 cups of fresh peeled peaches, 1/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of cold butter, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. We than add it to a baking dish, cook at 400 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes. To spice up this recipe try adding locally grown blueberries or raspberries to this recipe for a nice change and a different hint of flavour.
How about adding peaches to a drink, blend peeled peaches, with pineapple juice, vodka and peach snoops, and ice than add to martini glass and finish with a splash of sprite or club soda. Garnish with a peach slice.
So peaches are great in so many dishes, go out today and try some of these great recipes and let us know how they turned out!
