I've always thought you had to get mid-way into peach season to find great flavor. But, I've discovered that simply isn't true. The peach of the moment is called FlavorRich and it absolutely lives up to its name. Even though it is a cling variety (the fruit doesn't come free from the seed), the sweet peachy-ness is exceptional. Add to that fresh blueberries from Georgia, and blackberries from Petals from the Past in Jemison, and you have the beginning of summer's finest fruits.
If your peaches ripen too quickly try this:
- Slip the skin off of the peach. It usually comes away easily on over-ripe fruit.
- Slice away the fruit from the seed, holding it over a bowl to capture juice as well.
- Puree it, juice and all, in a blender or food processor.
What to do with it?
