The peach season is in full swing where I live, and I can get some amazing peaches. We have had all the fresh peaches we would ever want. They are so good fresh that we haven't even made a pie, jam or butter. However, we did make these easy, delicious appetizers: Bacon Wrapped Fresh Peaches.
Taste Creations is a group of bloggers who have been cooking together for three years. We have a theme, this month it is bacon, and we all do our own take on it. I'll share the other recipes further down the post.
I live near Illinois, on the east border of Missouri, so I am close enough to get Calhoun County peaches regularly at my Farmers' Market. I don't know why the peaches there are so good, but even when I lived in Jefferson City (in the center of Missouri) we'd wait anxiously to see the Peach Man park his truck at one of the strip malls and start setting out baskets and bags of peaches. He would cut up a few and have them pierced with toothpicks. Those who didn't know about these peaches would stop and taste. The rest of us were packing up baskets of peaches by the bushel!
There isn't a recipe for this wonderful dish, it is that simple. Here's what you do:
Slice your peaches into fourths. Wrap each peach slice with a piece of bacon. Grill until the bacon is done. We like it simple. Others might find that sprinkling a little Tajin on the peaches after grilling is a must. Sometimes I have sprinkled a little brown sugar on top of the bacon right after you turn the peach for the first time. Both are wonderful little change ups if needed.
Here's what's been cooking in the kitchens of the Taste Creation Bloggers this month:
Lauren at Mom Home Guide made Cheddar Biscuits with Bacon and Chives.
Rosemary from An Italian in My Kitchen made Mushroom Pancetta Pizza.
