Good Peaches
Before you get started on your peachy recipe, here are some tips to tell when a peach is ripe and ready to be eaten or cooked:
- It has a sweet aroma: You can tell a peach is ripe and ready when it exudes a sweet scent. For many varietals, a lack of smell relates to a lack of flavor.
- It has some softness: The peach is not ready if it feels firm to the touch. A ripe peach should have some "give" when gently squeezed. But, never squeeze too firmly; doing so will cause bruising.
- It is the right color: Another way to tell if a peach is ripe is if it has a dark yellow color. They aren't just red; that's simply the color that comes from direct sun exposure. If the peach is green or even has any hint of green left on it, it's not ready!
