Peach season is finally here and I’m stoked! I help out at a neighborhood farmer’s market every Sunday through the summer and the farmer I work for grows peaches. They’re phenomenal and I think I ate three while working this last Sunday. Since they’re so easy to bruise - the price we have to pay for them being so perfectly juicy - there’s usually a good deal of bruised peaches at the end of the day that I can take home. A lot of farmers will even sell these peaches as “seconds” so keep an eye out or ask those at the market about seconds because it’s a fantastic deal. These Red Haven peaches were priced at $2.99/lb and the seconds are priced at $0.99/lb and a majority of the peach is in totally fine condition, you just have to use them quickly and discard the tiny pits that are too bruised. I used about 6 “seconds” peaches for this recipe. I wanted to make something that was sugary, easy, and filled with peaches. I was planning on serving this with some ice cream but I totally forgot to pick it up at the store. Whoops! This recipe could easily be made vegan with some earth balance and vegan-friendly graham crackers. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! Happy Peach Season!
