Instructions 👩‍🍳

Step-by-step:

Wash the peaches: Rinse the peaches and dry the skins gently. Refer to the illustrated recipe for the exact details.
Remove the stones: Cut around each stone and separate the flesh. If the flesh does not release easily, cut it away from the stone rather than forcing the halves apart.
Slice and serve: Cut the peach flesh into wedges and arrange on a serving plate or the prepared breakfast dish, keeping the juicy pieces intact.

Fresh Peaches: Juicy slices for bowls and desserts

Whole peaches, peach halves and wedges with golden flesh and red skins on a black plate.

Juicy peaches make a bowl of yogurt feel a little more like dessert. Put the slices on the table and let everyone add their own.

Choose fruit that gives gently

Ripe peaches bring sweetness, a little acidity and fragrant flesh. Look for fruit that yields slightly to gentle pressure without feeling mushy. A red blush alone does not tell you how ripe a peach is. Handle tender fruit lightly so it does not bruise before it reaches the plate.

Why some pits hold on

Some peaches have flesh that separates easily from the pit; others cling to it. If the halves resist coming apart, carefully cut the flesh away from the pit instead of forcing them. The pieces do not have to be identical to taste good.

Wash peaches under running water before cutting, use a clean knife and board, and remove the pit before serving. If you are not eating the cut fruit right away, keep it covered in the refrigerator.

Keep tender slices intact

Lift ripe peach pieces gently onto the serving dish instead of repeatedly stirring them. Cutting close to serving also gives the exposed flesh less time to brown.

Try them warm from the grill

For an optional warm version, choose peaches firm enough to hold together. Lightly brush the cut sides of pitted halves with oil and grill them cut-side down. Watch for softened flesh and some browning, and remove them before they burn or fall apart.

Creamy, crunchy or simply fruity

Serve peach slices over yogurt or oatmeal, or beside a scoop of ice cream. Add granola at the table so it keeps its crunch. For a mixed fruit bowl, blueberries add small, sweet-tart bites alongside the larger peach pieces.

Let whole fruit ripen, keep slices cold

Firm whole peaches can ripen at room temperature. Check them and refrigerate once ripe if you are not ready to eat them. Store cut peaches covered in the refrigerator. Keep fruit mixed with yogurt chilled, too, and refrigerate grilled leftovers promptly.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to peel the peaches?
No. Washed peach skin can stay on. Peel it if you prefer a smoother texture.

Why will the pit not come out?
Some varieties have flesh that clings to the pit. Cut it away carefully rather than twisting the fruit apart with force.

Can I prepare the slices ahead?
Yes. Keep them covered and refrigerated, although freshly cut slices usually look neater. Add any crunchy toppings when serving.
