Peaches are one of my favourite fruits. At least in theory. I still have memories of the time I went peach picking with friends and was standing in the middle of an orchard, juice dribbling down my chin as I ate my fill of the sweet, succulent stone fruit. But in reality, peaches can be disappointing. I’ve bitten into my fair share of mediocre and sometimes outright unappetizing peaches, either because I was too impatient to let them ripen or I simply had a case of bad luck, no matter how hard I tried to select good ones.
