There’s nothing quite like eating a ripe, juicy peach right out of hand, its juices dripping down your chin as the fruit fills your senses with its sweet, sometimes delicate floral flavor.
The perfect peach is my white whale of summer produce. I often find myself with less-than-peak fruit, no matter how hard I try to find the ideal specimens. (Remember: Scent is the best flavor indicator for peaches.) But all is not lost — this is where recipes come in, transforming something that is good or just okay into a delectable dish.
