Peaches, what to do?

Peach vodka! Or, slice and macerate with rum, pour over ice cream or plain cake. Peach butter? I think you could make that in a crockpot. Takes forever, but very yummy. Slice and dry them maybe (lots of work).

there's always pie. if you're bad with pastry like me, then you can buy a premade raw crust at the grocery store or (even better) ask for one at bakery that you like. the filling and a crumb topping are easy enough to make. or you could forgo the bottom crust and just make a crumble...

Mmmmm, cobbler

i'd try this if i were fortunate enough to have fresh peaches:

How about a cocktail? If you wait until they're ripe and puree them, then mix them with vodka, isn't that a bellini? Anyway, it's really nice whatever it is (although Jaq basically said this upthread).

Or just halve them and put double cream in the whole that's left, then eat with a spoon. Not haute cuisine but you'll get the full benefit of the flavour (plus drippy chin and much happiness).

Dry maybe. . .

I thought of pie/cobbler but they really might be too far gone. They were given to us ripe and I'm afraid they might be useless now. ugh.

If I get more I will do a pie. Maybe jam although I've never done this.

If they aren't moldy, just mushy, I'd go the vodka route. Freezer jam's good. It might be simpler to make a puree and dry that into fruit leather. It will probably need some lemon juice or powdered citric acid, to add tartness and keep it from getting way too brown.

Also, the idea of candied ginger, over-ripe peach, and lemon flavors in a preserve or jam suddenly sounded really really good.

I made a clobber, but I eated it.

A bellini peach juice and champagne. Particularly nice when made with fresh peaches that have been whizzed up in the blender.
