Pro-Tip for Picking the Perfect Peach

The key to this recipe is picking the perfect peach that will ripen to perfection. One tip is to let your nose do the picking. When selecting a peach, the sweeter the smell, the better the peach; stay away from the dull, odorless peach to avoid a bad pick. If your peach is hard, it is not quite ready; it is ready when it is firm, but it gives way to a slight squeeze. Color is also essential; a dark yellow color signifies your peach is ready for the taking. Lastly, the bigger the peach, the better. Choose peaches that are medium to large over the tiny ones.
