Peach Shortcake

Feeling Peachy

Thanks to The Peach Truck

If you ask what my favorite season is, I’ll say fall. If you ask what my favorite season for produce is, it’s summer all the way. 90% of my feelings about the best season for fruit + veg is thanks to The Peach Truck. Twice a week I happily walk a few blocks from my house to 12South for an $8 bag of the best peaches money can buy.

I usually try to do some baking come peach season–my grandmother’s cobbler and peach jam will live on forever–but my first two bags were so good I just ate them all plain. Juice literally squirted out all over the floor on my first bite. SO. GOOD.

While browsing Bon Appetit’s website (as I do most days) I stumbled upon this shortcake recipe for summer’s other best fruit, strawberries. I decided to try it with peaches, and subsequently decided this is going to be a go-to year after year. Usually I’d brag on my baking skills, but it’s almost impossible to make something bad when the fruit is so good.
