Oh, peaches.
Peaches are the one fruit that unequivocally spells summer. When eaten at their ripest they are so sweet, tender, and juicy - no other fruit compares! Peaches have such a short season, so let’s take advantage and eat ALL the peaches while we can!
Peaches grow a few hours inland from where I live - in the Okanagan region. It’s an area that gets hot dry summers and has perfect growing conditions for fruit (and wine! yum!)
I vacationed at a lake in the Okanagan two weeks ago, and peaches were the one thing I was set on bringing back home. (Besides cherries. And apricots. And blueberries. And tomatoes. Oh, and lots and lots of wine. 😉 )
