Clingstone peaches are used chiefly in canning because the fruit is firmer. Fresh peaches are further separated into yellow and white fleshed varieties. They are equally tasty, but the white peach tends to have a more delicate flavor. Anyone who has a peach tree in her backyard knows how remarkable a simple, fresh picked peach can look, smell, and taste . . . Summer has ripened, bringing forth fruits of all kinds to bestow on us mortals.
Peaches fit into any meal.
They can serve as a refreshing appetizer drink, garnish a poultry dish, be sliced as a salad accompanied by other fruits, and are best known in the form of spectacular desserts. They also make a stunning centerpiece on a stemmed glass plate or tumbling out of a compote. In its simplest form, the peach can be served along with the meal or as a finale. Presenting a bowl of lush, ripe fruit, along with a sharp knife and creamy cheese and toasted almonds allows their true colors and flavors to shine.
