You should be seeing local and regionally grown peaches in your Ingles Markets produce section. There’s nothing quite like biting into a sweet and juicy fresh peach, but what are some other ways you can use those peaches? 

Here are 10 ideas:

• Peach salsa – Delicious on pork, chicken, and fish dishes.

• Make peach jam, jelly, or chutney

• Add peach slices to a spinach or arugula salad along with mozzarella and prosciutto. Make a fruit salad with seasonal fruit like peaches, melon, berries and grapes.

• Peach cobbler, crisp, crumble and pies.

• Peel peaches, remove pit, and add them to a smoothie with a milk or soy milk base or to a 100% fruit juice.

• Slice peaches in half, remove the pit, brush with canola oil and grill. When done, sprinkle with brown sugar or drizzle with honey and have for dessert.

• Make peach ice cream or blend peaches with juice or milk and make popsicles

• Add peeled and diced peaches to waffle or pancake batter.

• Peel and diced peaches and make a breakfast parfait with plain or vanilla Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of your favorite cereal or granola.

• Make peach-apple sauce in your crockpot/slow cooker.

What are your favorite dishes to make with peaches?
