Summer is almost at an end. I know, it's sad, right? The only good part about that statement is that peaches are in season!

If you're not the fruit-freezing type, we have 11 ways for you to soak up the joy of peaches right now. There are so many dishes to make with peaches: salads, pizzas, sangria, crisps... that's why we made them the theme of this week's SWAT (Sharing With A Theme).

Whole Foods Feasting: Peachy Guacamole
Peaches and guacamole? It sounds insane, right? It's insanely delicious. In this guacamole, Donna Currie of Cookistry uses peaches in place of tomatoes — it's a little sweet and a little tart, and she finds that this stone fruit's texture is very similar to that of tomatoes. Give it a try — I think you'll like it.
White Wine Peach Sangria
Natalie Uy of Obsessive Cooking Disorder created the perfect end-of-summer drink. Try making white wine sangria — it's a great way to utilize peaches and a stellar excuse to sip wine on the patio.
Bourbon Poached Peach Sorbet
Cheyanne of No Spoon Necessary hit the motherlode when it came to peaches. A delicious, easy, no-churn sorbet — it's every sorbet lover's dream. This dish is silky, light and misleadingly rich in texture. Poaching the peaches in bourbon adds a depth of mellow, boozy, bodacious flavor to the succulently sweet fruit. Booze, peaches, and sorbet — this recipe is unlike any other, which Cheyanne is the winner of this week's SWAT.

Peach Blueberry Crisp for Two
The contrast between the sweet and luscious filling and the crunchy topping is perfect. There is almost no added sugar to this crisp: The natural sugars of the fruit are just enough. But I did add a smidgen of honey to the nut topping to give it that bit of sweetness. For the Peach Blueberry Crisp for Two recipe, click here.
