Peaches! Quite possibly my favorite thing about summertime. Every year we get a 25 pound box from The Peach Truck and that’s my fix for the year. The best way to eat them is to just slice one right up and eat it fresh. This peach mango salsa recipe is one I go back to year after year, nothing beats a peach crisp, or a galette – like a pie, but easier!
But my favorite way to put them to use them is to drink them, in the form of a peach margarita. I’m loose with how I make my drinks with a little of pour in a little of this, dump in a lot of that kind of approach. If you prefer something a little more direct, this recipe looks pretty delicious! If you like to wing it like me though, then here’s what you do:
– peel and slice a peach and put it in a blender with tequila and a little bit of limeade, blend until it’s nice and smooth looking
– pour it in a glass until the glass is about a third full and throw in a little bit of simple syrup
– fill the rest of the class with more limeade – jalapeño limeade if you like a little spice to your drink and live near a Trader Joe’s.
Then grab your sunglasses and head outside to enjoy it in the sunshine! Cheers!
Then if you’re ready to head back inside into the kitchen, here’s some other peach recipes I have my eye on but have yet to try:
peach BBQ sauce (I’m thinking to add to some pulled chicken made in the crockpot?)
