It’s no secret that I love summer fruit. Tomatoes are close to the top of the list, but I love peaches. And, finally, it’s peach season. I usually don’t get around to doing anything with them besides eating them as soon as they’re soft, but maybe this week I’ll get around to it, because these recipes look yummy!
First, get in the mood by reading “The Annual Hunt for Perfectly Ripe Peaches” on The Atlantic.
The Atlantic also has a fairly lengthy post about canning peaches. I still haven’t gotten up the guts to try canning, but if I was going to can something, peaches might be it.
Next, move on to the recipes, starting with Ruth Reichl’s warm peach cobbler.
Cynthia has a recipe for grilled fruit quesadillas. Fruit, almond butter, cinnamon? These may be happening sooner rather than later in our house, especially since I just bought a whole mess of tortillas.
If you’re feeling adventurous (frying scares me), perhaps you should make these Beer-Battered, Deep-Fried Donut Peaches as seen on Sixpoint (via the Kitchn; also seen on Mark Bittman’s site)
2 possible winners from Salon: tart and sexy peach relish and spicy and nutty peach crisp. Oh fruit crisps, why are you so good?
What’s (possibly) better than fruit crisp? Peach Amaretti Crumble from Closet Cooking.
Serious Eats has posted a Galette of White Peaches and Tomatoes. I’m in the midst of a love affair with galettes (recipe links coming, I promise!) I’m not sure where I’d get the heirloom tomatoes, but it’s definitely an idea I’m holding on to.
Oh, and because it’s completely necessary:
Any perfect peach preparations out there that I missed?
(Almost) Every Sunday, I choose a theme and highlight blog posts, websites and news articles from my Google Reader which I found interesting (and hope you do too!)

Hi EMily, Thanks again for the brush. I will properly thank you one of these days when I get off my duff and create something cool. :)
I just wanted to chime in that the BESTEST Peaches I evah had were from Trader Joes last summer/fall time, and are from Colorado. I can’t remember what they were called but they were AWESOME. I saw some this past weekend that were as big as a softball and they were juicing them at the microgreens stand at the farmers market in the city. One of these days, I’ll really blog instead of just posting pictures on the fly!! take care!!
