By Cassie L. Damewood
No other stone fruit is epitomized like a peach. Besides being beloved for its unique flavor, luscious texture and magical fuzzy exterior, it's a symbol in our language of beauty, excellence and all things good and satisfying. You can feel peachy, flaunt your attractive partner as a peach, or negotiate a peach of a deal. No other fruit can make this claim.
When it comes to cooking and baking, you can trust a peach to never let you down. Sliced, diced, pureed or poached, peaches are natural stars. No matter what type you choose — and there are over 2,000 varieties worldwide — these slow-cooked peach desserts transform the final course into a grand finale.
