Peaches to me are the epitome of summer. The northern region of our state (Utah) is famous for its fruit crops, particularly peaches. Large, fleshy and luscious, they’ve inspired a whole town to create an annual festival around their harvest, Peach Days.

Parades, princesses and a pie eating contest—peach of course—are all part of the celebration’s festivities where fruit stands line the two-lane highway, ripe with fruit for locals to devour.

I love picking up a bushel and sharing with family in all sorts of ways and surprising them with non-traditional peach prep, like tossing on the grill and serving with sweetened honey.

In this recipe rosemary makes does double-duty as an herbal topper and a honey basting brush.
