5 Creative Ways To Add Peaches To Your Summer Party Menu

Oh, the peach — juicy, sweet, and practically a delicious symbol of summer. Yet this adored and succulent fruit is more versatile than you may think. The next time you stroll through the farmers' market (or produce aisle) past the ripe peaches, don't limit its potential by using it only as a midday snack to munch on. Instead, see it as a perfect sauce-flavoring component, a sweet salsa add-in, or a cocktail flavor burst.
