My grandmother, the late Catherine Tharpe, was nicknamed "The Peach Lady". She loved peaches and in the summer, would bring fresh peaches to my parents house every weekend from the farmers market. Since her death, I have found myself eating a peach a day, savoring her favorite food and mine. The tender and sweet fruit has become a symbol, in my family, of my wonderful Mimi.
As peach season comes to a close, I am trying to enjoy one of my favorite peach applications as long as I can. For a late night snack, I saute one large, Georgia peach in a tsp of butter, seasoning with cinnamon. When the peach just starts to carmelize, take it off the heat and serve with frozen yogurt.
