Peaches are particularly popular, especially in modern day recipes. This rich, juicy stone fruit is bountiful during summer, but you start to see them on supermarket shelves during the spring. Naturally, they have the best flavor during their summer season. That doesn’t mean you have to avoid peaches if you see them on the shelves before then, though. In fact, we encourage you to experiment with peaches, going outside the traditional box of recipes. That’s where this recipe enters the equation.
