Florida's Peach Season
Northeast Florida farmers and home gardeners alike can harvest fresh peaches with varieties specific to the area.
If you're like us, when summer comes around, you salivate at the sight of fresh, seasonal fruit like blueberries and peaches. Sometimes, we can't resist eating these yearly treats straight from the market. Other times, we manage to hold back long enough to transform them into a bubbling, baked treat that's simply irresistible. Our Blueberry-Peach Crisp is the perfect end to Sunday supper and great mixed with plain yogurt at breakfast the next morning. (That is, if you can resist the temptation to immediately finish every last bite.)
