A well grown perfectly ripened peach

Does there exist in the world a better fruit than this?
I got a load out of South Carolina and they are just the most luscious delectable things that can be.
I can’t think of anything else that even comes close fruit-wise.

Are we talking about actual peaches, or....you know?

Take your pick.

Pretty much agree. Maybe a mango?

I’ve grown very partial to yellow nectarines in recent years. Just incredible when you get one at peak ripeness.

Some friends gave us some this week grown in SC. Big peaches. As good as I've tasted.
Made some ice cream with them today.

Make a nice pan of peach cobbler to go with that ice cream and you'll be in hog heaven.

Would love that. Ice cream came out good. Really good peaches.

Yeah man a great peach is hard to beat. Only thing that comes close is a fig ripened on the tree.

Here's my simple, fool-proof recipe:
6 large peaches cut in wedges and skin peeled off them
1 1/2 cups sugar divided
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter melted plus some for greasing the baking pan
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup ice water
Grease a 9 x 13 pan and line it with the peaches. Combine 1/2 cup sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, butter, vanilla and milk and mix till smooth and pour this over the peaches.
Then combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup ice water and pour this over the batter. Bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees.
When I cut the peaches I will do so with a sharp knife and cut them into 8 equal wedges and remove the wedges from the stone. Using the sharp knife I will remove the skin before putting them in the baking pan.

I put a perfectly ripe mango over a perfectly ripe peach. It's close, but the mango wins for me.

Ever had tropical fruits?

It does but depends on the variety too. Not all mangos are the same.

Yep. I’ll take a perfect peach every time over any of them.
As a caveat, I will say a bad mango is many orders of magnitude better than a bad peach. Bad peaches are horrid. A perfect one is perfectly sublime, though. Just had another one.

Oddly enough SC out produces the peach state by a factor of over 2, it used to be higher with just 3 counties in SC producing several times more peaches than all of GA. California is king with maybe 10 times the production now.
I-85 runs through Cherokee and Spartanburg counties and when I was a kid there was a fruit stand at about every 3rd exit. My mom would go and buy a couple of pecks of what they called overripe peaches. They really weren't over ripe just at peak ripeness and needed to be used right away. So for a couple of days we would eat fresh peaches, my parents would make peach icecream and then my mom would freeze the rest. This would happen 3-4 times a summer as the different varieties were harvested. I had no idea how good I had it until I moved away and bought rock hard peaches in the grocery store.
A good ripe peach (particularly a donut peach) is definitely on the Mt Rushmore of fruit.

You folks must be lucky. consistently the worst peaches I've had in the past 10-15 yrs have come from So Carolina. I won't buy them.

if you find a truly ripe and perfect peach you are correct. the problem is finding one
sometimes it seems like they are a thing of myth.

I’ve yet to be burned by a roadside stand in the upland areas of North or South Carolina around this time of year.

It's all about timing, and now it's the time around here. They're so good every year, but I usually get burned trying to stretch it too long and my last peach of the year ends up sucking.
