How to choose peaches for recipes
For fresh recipes:
Choose fragrant peaches that give slightly when pressed. They are best for fruit salads, smoothies, iced tea and no-bake desserts.
For baked desserts:
Use ripe but not over-soft peaches so they keep their shape in cakes, tarts and cobblers.
For savory dishes:
Roasting peaches concentrates their sweetness and makes them delicious with burrata, arugula, basil, mint or a drizzle of olive oil.
