Ripe, Juicy, and Ready for the Spotlight
Choosing the right peaches for this delightful dessert is just as crucial as following the recipe. You’ll want to look for firm fruit but with a slight give when gently pressed – a telltale sign of ripeness. The skin blemish free and without wrinkles, while the color should be vibrant, a blend of rosy red, sunny yellow, and warm orange tones.
Sniffing the peach is a little trick that works wonders; it should smell sweet and fragrant, just as you’d expect a peach to be. But don’t let the blush fool you; the color doesn’t indicate ripeness or sweetness – it’s more about the variety. Also, remember overly ripe peaches might be too juicy and can make the tart soggy.
Selecting the perfect peaches not only enhances the taste of your Pastry Peach Bites but also assures you the finest quality you’re offering to your loved ones. Happy peach hunting!

- Drizzle across the pastry.
