Grilled Peach, Hazelnut & Balsamic Crostini

Peach season has arrived in our neck of the woods and even though we don’t grow peaches at Tumbleweed Farm we are lucky enough to live in a valley full of wonderful peach orchards. Courtney-one of our lovely CSA members, dropped off some beautiful peaches from her orchard a few days ago and we could not wait to sink our teeth into some perfectly ripe fruit. There is nothing better than a juicy peach when it’s 95 degrees outside and farm chores are never ending. It’s the perfect farmers fuel!

This recipe is another great way to celebrate the season’s bounty. Grilled peaches are absolutely wonderful. They lightly caramelize when grilled which brings out even more of their lovely sweetness. We paired our grilled peaches with some creamy ricotta cheese, toasted hazelnuts, basil and a tangy balsamic reduction. These crostini are delicious and I hope you all give this simple recipe a try before peach season ends. Fire up the grill, crack open a couple of beers and enjoy an evening outside with good food, great friends and these crostini. Cheers from Tumbleweed Farm.
