<p>I bought a tote bag full of fresh peaches on sale on Friday. Skinned and sliced a bunch and have been feasting on fresh peaches since then. I’ve got about half the bag left and would like to make something good (but not a pie). They’re REALLY ripe, I’ve gotta do it today! Tell me your favorite non-pie peach recipes!</p>
<p>When you say “no pie,” would Peach Crisp be acceptable? </p>
<p>Slice peaches and put in 9x13-inch glass dish. In food processor, mix 3/4 cup flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, and 1 stick ice-cold butter. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle over peaches; tap dish so some falls into the peaches. Bake at 375 for 30 mins.</p>
<p>I sometimes broil it for the last few minutes to get the top brown.</p>
<p>You can also broil or grill peach halves and baste with some teriyaki sauce.</p>
<p>You could also try “Peaches Foster” instead of Bananas Foster.</p>
<p>Here’s my favorite quick and easy peach dessert.</p>
<p>Peach Cobbler</p>
<p>1 stick butter
2 to 4 cups peeled and sliced peaches with juice
1 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1 cup flour
1 cup milk</p>
<p>Put the butter in a 2 quart casserole dish, place in a cold oven and preheat to 350. If the peaches aren’t juicy, sprinkle them with some sugar and set aside. Sift the sugar, baking powder and flour into a mixing bowl, add the milk and mix until well blended. When the butter has melted and the oven has reached 350, pour the batter evenly into the casserole. Add the peaches and their juice, distributing them evenly but keeping an outer edge of batter. Return to oven and bake for 1 hour or until the top is golden brown.</p>
<p>Can increase quantities by 50% to make in 9x13 pyrex pan.</p>

<p>Yes! I just don’t feel like rolling out a pie crust - too lazy!</p>
<p>That’s why I don’t make fruit pies anymore – just the crisps!</p>
<p>I did the same thing – bought a basket of peaches and they are SO good!</p>
<p>Last night we had cut up peaches with a bit of sugar to bring out the flavor. I think I will do grilled peaches with dinner tonight. I’ve also done (in the past) a chunky peach sauce to serve over ice cream.</p>
<p>I may make a pie also … and I’m going to peel, slice, and freeze the balance!</p>
<p>These are great alongside hamburgers or other items on the grill, and are super easy if you are grilling anyway:</p>
<ul>
<li>Split peach in half and remove the pit.</li>
<li>Brush each cut side with vegetable or olive oil</li>
<li>Grill alongside other items on the outdoor grill (cut side down). I haven’t really timed it, I would say about 3-4 minutes. I usually check them and turn them at least once, which gives them a nice cross-hatch grill pattern.</li>
<li>Turn them over so the cut side is up and grill for another minute or so.</li>
<li>Remove from grill.</li>
<li>Fill the center “pit” hole with crumbled blue or gorgonzola cheese (sold in containers in the cheese section of our supermarket). We like a lot of blue cheese on ours, so we let it overflow some. :)</li>
<li>Heat a few tablespoons of honey in the microwave until runny, then drizzle it over the peaches.</li>
</ul>
<p>Grilled Peaches with Blue Cheese? SO out of my comfort zone. I might have to try that…was planning on grilling burgers tonight!</p>
<p>You can just slice a peach, stick it in the microwave, sprinkled with a little cinnamon and/or nutmeg and/or maple syrup and then pour the juicy sauce on a pancake or waffle or just spoon it out of the bowl straight, or serve it next to a pork chop.</p>
<p>Peach Salsa</p>
<p>1 cup chopped peaches
1 red or green bell pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 to 2 jalape</p>
<p>Cook them down with a little water and sugar and spoon over ice cream. I do this when I don’t have enough left for another crisp. yumm and easy</p>
<p>I love peach salsa, you can also make it with mangoes. I think it goes well with white fish.</p>
<p>It also goes well with grilled pork chops or roast pork.</p>
<p>Don’t hesitate to sprinkle with some Fruit Fresh and freeze them in zip lock bags for a nice treat when it’s wintry, cold and frosty outside. Nothing like a nice fresh (even fresh frozen) peach to remind you that summer will come again! Yum!</p>
<p>Everyone probably knows this already – but the easy way to skin a peach is to cook it in boiling water for 30-45 seconds, pull it out with a slotted spoon, run it under cold water, and the skin will just rub right off with your fingers!</p>
<p>How about some sangria - put peach slices in a pitcher with red wine and into the refrigerator!</p>
