Peach season is in full swing in South Carolina and I can’t get enough of them. They are unbelievably sweet and juicy. So juicy they can’t be peeled without a river of juice running down your hands all the way to your elbow. We eat peach cobbler all summer long, but sometimes I like to do something a little savory with peaches too.
Add Some Spice
This Peach-Vidalia Onion Relish is packed full of tangy, sweet flavor and is spiced up with jalapenos and crushed red pepper flakes. The heat is a wonderful complement to the sweetness of the peaches. It also has a splash of gin to help add a little kick. I used Cardinal American Dry Gin which is distilled less than an hour from my house in Kings Mountain, NC- but you can use any gin or even omit the gin.
Makes A Large Batch
If you have a large quantity of ripe, summer peaches (And I wouldn’t recommend this recipe for peaches that aren’t really ripe) that need to be used up, this is a great recipe to do it with. It makes a large batch of relish which can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or it can be canned.
How To Serve Peach-Vidalia Onion Relish
Try it as a topping for hot dogs or turkey burgers or spread on top of a block of cream cheese as an appetizer served with crackers. It also goes great with grilled chicken or shrimp. And for a sweet treat, be sure to save some peaches for Slow Cooker Peach Cobbler. 🙂
