Peaches

The Question: Any ideas for a ton of ripe peaches? I've made some baby food, but you've got me thinking muffins. Any good recipes?

The Answer: Peaches are definitely yummy, and this is certainly the height of the peach season, so it's time to take advantage! If you're looking for a special sweet treat, peach cobblers are wonderful. Here's a recipe for a peach blueberry cobbler: http://whatsfordinner-fft.blogspot.com/2010/06/blueberry-peach-cobbler.html
It was very tasty, but I'm actually a fan of a crumbly cobbler topping, opposed to this biscuit-like top. If you prefer a crumbly topping too, I'd just simply mix sliced peaches (and any other sweet fruit) with some sugar and place it in a large baking dish. Top with some oats (about 2 cups), some butter (4-6 tbs), cinnamon, a bit of brown sugar (about 1/4 cup), mix it all up by hand, crumble it on top of the fruit, and set that in a 350 F oven to bake.

Peaches also make wonderful muffins, and since you suggested it, here's a recipe you might want to try: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/peach-muffins-recipe/index.html

Finally, to go a more savory route, peaches make a great salsa for either chicken or a firm white fish. You could even make tacos and use peach salsa as a topping. Just chop some peaches, red onion, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, and add some lime juice. Or throw some chopped ripe peaches into a salad with a citrus vinaigrette. The citrus will perfectly balance out the sweetness of the peaches.
Enjoy!
