It’s that wonderful time of year where grocery stores, farmers markets, and even guys on the side of the road are selling fresh summer peaches. They are literally everywhere. But this is a good thing! Summer stone fruit makes the hot weather worth it.
The great thing about peaches is just how versatile they are. Trust me, there is so much more to this fruit than just simple pie. Don’t get me wrong… pie is great! But one can only eat so much pie, so I been told.
One of my favorite ways to use fresh peaches is as a replacement for tomatoes. Really, they are pretty interchangeable. But don’t take my word for it. Here are some delicious recipes that typically call for tomatoes but where fresh peaches have been used instead.

Everything you grill just got tastier. This ketchup is great on burgers, fries, or just straight from the jar. Okay, I am kidding. You probably don’t want to eat it on it’s own. I said probably.
