Fresh peach salsa is one of the easiest ways to turn ripe summer fruit into something savory. The peaches stay juicy and distinct, while red onion, jalapeño, lime, and cilantro bring enough acidity and heat to balance their sweetness. Serve it with tortilla chips, spoon it over fish tacos, or add it to grilled chicken, pork, or steak. What to Serve With • Seed the jalapeño for milder heat, but leave some ribs if you want a little more bite without overpowering the peaches.

A batch of peach chutney is a good way to use ripe summer fruit when you want something savory instead of another dessert. Brown sugar softens the peaches as they cook, while red onion, ginger, jalapeño, and apple cider vinegar give the mixture enough sharpness and heat to balance the sweetness. Spoon it over grilled chicken or pork, or serve it alongside cheese and crackers.

Letting the salted tomatoes sit for a few minutes creates a light, juicy dressing right on the platter, while burrata adds enough richness to make the salad feel substantial.

Ripe peaches are all you need to make this pie feel special. The fruit stays in generous pieces rather than being sliced, so each serving has plenty of soft, juicy peach tucked into a crisp crust. A buttery flour-and-sugar mixture melts over the top as it bakes, keeping the filling simple and letting the peaches lead. Serve it slightly warm or at room temperature with whipped cream.

Peach cobbler is one of my favorite ways to use a pile of ripe summer peaches because the fruit stays front and center. The peaches get a quick head start in the oven, then a soft buttermilk biscuit dough is dropped over the top and baked until deeply golden. Give the cobbler time to rest before serving so the warm peach juices can thicken around the biscuits. I like it slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. • Pull the cobbler when the middle is bubbling, not just the edges.

What makes this bowl work so well is that it is hearty, high in protein, and still has plenty of freshness.

Prosciutto brings the salt, toasted almonds add crunch, and fresh mozzarella makes it filling enough for lunch or dinner alongside grilled chicken or steak. What to Serve With • Clean and oil the grill grates before the peaches go on. That small step does a lot to keep the fruit from tearing.

A little flour and brown sugar thicken the peach juices, while melted butter helps the pecan topping bake up crisp and golden. It makes a generous 9-by-13-inch pan, so it is especially good for cookouts and summer gatherings. I like to serve it warm rather than piping hot, which gives the filling time to thicken and helps the topping stay crisp. • Spread the peaches into an even layer so the filling cooks at the same rate across the pan.

A galette is one of the easiest ways to turn good peaches into dessert without fussing with a pie plate. Puff pastry gives you a crisp, buttery base, and the peach filling stays simple with sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and just enough flour to catch the juices. • Heat the oven to 400°F.
