Answer 3

if you drink, get a few bottles of a nice crisp white wine, dump them all in a container, slice a whole bunch of fresh peaches in it, cover and chill for a few days, or until desired peachiness, drink on a hot summer afternoon.

you could also make peach jams/preserves.

or just basic cobblers, pies, and galettes. you can even grill them and serve them with sweetened ricotta.

Answer 4

This is not a recipe but another idea. My mom always bought bushels of peaches in the summer. She would cut them up and add a bit of sugar. She would freeze them in ziploc bags or small containers. Then in the winter we could take them out, thaw them a bit and enjoy them. It is better than ice cream and a great treat for winter.
