    my preferred peach-eating setup is over the sink, but with a tiny bowl held in my non-peach hand to catch any drips that escape my blurp. (the sink is for safety in case I miss.) then once I’ve finished the peach, I lick the juice drops out of the tiny bowl. it’s like a little bonus treat, and a great note to end on.

    one of my favourite easy things to do during peach season is this: take a whole peach and pull the pit out. fill the empty space inside with caramel. wrap the whole peach in a thin layer of pie dough and bake the whole thing until the pie dough is gbd. It's even better than it sounds, and it's a perfect single-serving dessert. The amount of crust I would make for a single crust pie usually is enough for 4-6 peaches.

    Sounds delicious! And, for the first time in seven years, the squirrels left us some peaches -- which ripened fully on the tree. So, I made this last night.
    I must not have used enough butter though. There was no juice to drain after it was baked AND about a third of the tart stuck to the pan when we flipped it. So, it tasted good, but was a bit ugly.
    Two additions: I added 1/2 cup of minced candied ginger between the crust and the peaches - which was delicious. I put heavy cream, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a cocktail shaker with the spring from a Hawthorne strainer to make whipped cream for the top. (I'd never tried that method before and it worked quite well!)
    I'm going to make the peach tarte tatin again using more butter and a double layer of peaches in hopes of getting enough juice to reduce it with bourbon as suggested. My sweetie wants to take some of the tarte and mix it into premium vanilla ice cream. I'm going for the whipping cream again. 😁
    P.S. I learned a lot in this video! For example, nectarines are my favorite fruit, but I had no idea they were in the peach family.

    When I was growing up, peaches had a fuzzy skin. We had to wash them under cold running water to rub off the fuzz before we could eat them. Our peach tree always produced the biggest and juiciest peaches you could ever want to eat. I don't know what happened to the fuzzy skin variety of peaches, but I never see them anymore. That's too bad. They tasted much better than peaches today. Thanks for the video Dan. I'm always enlightened in a very good way after watching you.

    My ultimate peach experience was 50 years ago in Texas. I was in basic training at the Air Force base outside San Antonio. I developed an earache and so was sent to sick bay. When I arrived, there was a huge stainless steel bin full of softball-sized peaches at peak ripeness, dripping with juice. I ate four of them and looked forward to a new bin the next day. That bin never came. Lesson: pig out today, tomorrow is too late. I've never since had a peach that came close to those.

    Have you tried Palisade peaches? From the western slope of Colorado. They can get monstrous & are so good! I'm in the Denver area, so eastern slope side, but we'd go every Labor Day weekend to visit friends in Grand Junction & load up. Then we'd get to canning & freezing. Spiced peaches are yum 😋 I like peaches by themselves, with cream or cottage cheese & also in homemade jam, which is my preferred method now of preserving them. You can get them at Farmer's Markets & roadside stands in my area starting soon (our peach season is late summer). Oh, & I'd prefer a descented skunk over a trash panda (though they can be quite cute too).

    My husband lives for peach season. He is so picky he only will buy them at one produce store and they have to be from Colorado. He goes through at least 60 of them testing, squeezing, and smelling them before he picks each for his bag. Some are ready in 1 day and some in 4 days..that's the longest he has them in the house. I use to buy a whole lug of them and freeze them to use during winter, but no, that will not do. He only eats them fresh during the peach window. To watch him eat a peach, you'd think it was heaven come to earth. I am so glad he can find such simple pleasure in something he loves so much.

    Peaches are my favorite fruit, as well. Peach cake from a NYC bakery! Yum! Both recipes sound so tasty. The “blurp ” is a hard technique to master, but once perfected, it soon becomes apparent that there is no other way. The tip on the angle of the bend is crucial. Not just for new shoes, but also white shirts! Note to self: Stop wearing white shirts to freestyle eat a peach!

    YES! Peaches are my favorite fruit, without a doubt. So acidic they will make my teeth hurt for days, and still, I cannot pass them up. My favorite way is also blurping...I usually lean over the sink. 😄 I recently found an ATK gallett/tar recipe with a simple crust , peaches, and blackberries that I am preparing to try...so excited! I am hoping that cooking them will tone down the peach's acidity. These recipes also look fantastic-more peach dishes in my near future!
