But you don't have to go that far. Peach season is at it's peak through August in California. Ripe peaches can be identified by an open stem cavity and warm colors. Buy them from a farmer's market to be assured they were not picked too soon. At the San Francisco Ferry Building Farmer's Market, you may see peaches being grilled over open flames.

Thank you Marsha! Wow, this post makes me want to make that dish again. I just arrived from Thailand 2 days ago and I'm loving all of the fresh peaches here in Georgia where I'm visiting my family. I was in LA for a 20 hour layover the other day and was surprised to discover that California peaches rival our GA peaches in quality and taste. Yummy!
