40 Fresh Peach Recipes to Try This Summer

When it comes to summer produce, there’s a lot to be excited about—crisp wedges of watermelon at a picnic, bowls of sweet cherries waiting to be made into pie, tomatoes that actually have flavor. But we’re extra excited about the triumphant return of the peach. And hot on the heels of Pantone’s Color of the Year announcement, The New York Times is predicting peach to have its moment in 2024. (As if it ever left.) Lusciously sweet, hardy enough to stand up to heat and super versatile, peaches are as fab in savory dishes as they are in desserts. Need inspiration? Here are 40 of our favorite fresh peach recipes, from pies to pizza.

Whether you bought a box of peaches online or went overboard at the farmers market, you’re wondering what you can make with a surplus of this stone fruit. You’re not just limited to pies (although they’re a good place to start)—try adding peaches to a batch of sangria or making homemade peach jam. This skillet peach cobbler calls for seven peaches, while these savory peach tarts need six. If all else fails, well, roll up your sleeves and start eating.
