It’s Just Peachy in South Carolina
The smell of peach tree blossoms is sweet in the spring, but the flavor of South Carolina peaches is even sweeter in the summer. Have a napkin in hand when you bite into one. The juice is bound to flow from the fuzzy fruit right down your chin.
Bring the family, roam the peach fields and gather as many as you like. Take them from the farm right into your kitchen and stir up summertime treats or just enjoy them as a snack.
If you want to add more substance to a plain ol’ peach, make a cool creamy dessert like homemade ice cream or cold fruit pops. Be mindful that the fresh, tasty fruit isn’t just good for desserts. You can even create fruity entrees or crisp peachy salads.
Yes, barbecued ribs and peaches. For fall-off-the-bone succulent ribs, remember, it’s all about the marinade and that’s what the peaches are a part of. Another dish that will create table talk for your guests is
bourbon-laced tipsy chicken with peaches. Makes your taste buds go wild, doesn’t it?
And of course you can’t go wrong with a peach cobbler or pie. If you’re not in the mood to slave over a hot stove or grill, a
peach salad will do. It’s quick, easy and good for you.
If your South Carolina summer vacation won’t include a visit to a farm, stop by one of our
roadside stands and buy a basket of peaches or other South Carolina fruit to take home.
Some stands will even let you try ‘em before you buy ‘em. That’s because in South Carolina, our hospitality is just peachy!
