To me, summer is a fresh peach. Growing up in the south means lots of huge, delicious peaches all summer long. Dessert was always something with peaches in it, and we ate them all the time.
One of the best frugal living tips I can give you is to cook with the food that is in season. Not only is it usually cheaper, but it is definitely more delicious. So if peaches are in season where you are, and you are looking for great peach recipes to make, then check out these recipes that call for fresh peaches!
If you have a recipe you love, then make double and freeze it- it’s great always to have something put away for those days when you don’t have time to cook or bake!
If you are worried about having too many peaches and not enough to eat or use them all before they go bad, cut them up into small pieces and freeze them. It’s not the same as fresh peaches, but they will work great in many of these recipes. No need to throw food out!
