Jolynn and the Giant Peach

Yesterday, I went to the grocery store and discovered a peach special. Once home, I kicked off my shoes and immediately started eating my prizes one after another while licking the juices from my fingers and arms and reliving old summer memories. Ten minutes later, I retrieved my shoes from under the washer and headed back toward the store for more.

Nostalgia fueled the first couple pounds of peach gluttony, but as I gazed at the giant bowl over my distended stomach, thoughts of peach flecked salsa, peach cobbler, peach chutney, and more invaded my mind.

I turned to the archives of my favorite blogs for inspiration. The best recipes covered desserts, but I still want to incorporate my peaches into savory dishes. So please share your ideas!

Here are the top contenders so far.

Peach Watermelon Sangria Sorbet from Not Eating Out in New York

Peach Tart with Almonds and Maple Syrup from Café Fernando

Peach Brulee from Joy the Baker

Blueberry Peach Buckle from Diary of a Fanatic Foodie

$20,000 Peach Pie by Zen Can Cook

    Jill, try a savory-sweet salad.
    I love my peaches cubed in a salad of lettuce, shaved carrots, chopped turkey pastrami and tossed with canola oil, lime juice, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. So summery.

    @esty - Thanks for the suggestion! I love pairing fruit with poultry, so peaches, lime juice and turkey pastrami sounds like it will make a great lunch for me.

    @josie - keep us updated if you get the chance to try it out!
