These Southern peach recipes cover the full range of what fresh summer peaches can do, from cobbler and cake to barbecue sauce and chutney. Peach season runs short. When the good ones finally show up, you want more than one plan for them, and this roundup gives you both sweet and savory options to make the most of the fruit while it lasts.

You’ll find the classics here, like a proper Southern peach cobbler and peach cobbler cookies that taste just like it. There’s peach blueberry cake, a peach blackberry galette, and peach muffins for breakfast or an afternoon snack. On the savory side, the peach barbecue sauce is good on chicken or pork, and the peach chutney is worth making for a cheese board or a simple weeknight roast. Start with one, or cook your way through all of them before the season ends.
