Just before summer slips through our fingers, let’s enjoy peaches! Fruit Crumble or crisp recipes are the simplest way to enjoy summer and early fall fruits. Swap a peach for blackberries or raspberries to this Peach Crisp or enjoy just as it is. I enjoy a crisp with a bit of texture and use more rolled oats that flour. Sometimes I’ll top the crisp with a bit of chopped nuts, too!
Can’t get enough peaches during the season? Freeze them to use later in baked peach crumble, pie, small batch jam or smoothies. Peel (check online for peeling tips), slice, toss 1 pound of peaches with 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and arrange on parchment paper-lined baking sheets and freeze overnight. Transfer to freezer bags to use for later.
Get out to your local orchard to purchase in-season peaches before it is too late!
