9 Savory Peach Dishes That’ll Make You Think Of This Fruit In A Fresh Light

@barbutonyc

There’s nothing like a juicy ripe peach on a warm summer day. August is National Peach Month, which means you’ll get to pick ’em, eat ’em as a healthy snack and broaden your recipe horizons. The fuzzy stone fruit is part of the rose family, along with plums, almonds and apricots. A little fun fact: peaches are referred to as “the fruit of calmness” in Hungary because of their natural sedative qualities. Even though you might be used to eating peaches in cobblers, fruit salads and pies, the summery stone fruit tastes just as good in savory recipes. These nine dishes are proof.
