43 Peach Recipes That Make the Most of Summer's Juiciest Fruit

Collections of peach recipes tend to be dominated by desserts, and for good reason: Is there anything sweeter than this classic summer stone fruit, and anything more deeply satisfying than a good old peach pie or peach cobbler? (With—and we can't emphasize this enough—ice cream?) But the peach is actually a pretty nimble player: You can bake it into a pastry, you can poach it in wine, but throw it on the grill and you'll find yourself with a caramelized wonder that pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or pork. Layer it with tomato and mozzarella and find yourself with a luscious spin on the classic Caprese. Chop it up with red onion and some vinegar and call it a relish; tossed with bitter greens and a sharp cheese, and it's a heavy-hitter on any salad plate. Whatever meal you're preparing, if the question is peaches, the answer can probably be found here, in our 43 favorite peach recipes.
