When removing a pit from a peach, you may be tempted to cut it from the stem to the blossom end. Most peaches have a natural line there that looks like a guide.

To choose the juiciest, sweetest peaches, you need to rely on three key senses: sight, touch, and smell. Your sense of smell will draw you to the ripest peaches.

"White peaches and yellow peaches are both great to use in peach sangria," says Jankel Aleman, Food and Beverage Manager at The National Hotel Miami Beach, who spoke to Tasting Table to share his expert tips for making a mouthwatering peach sangria. Both colors of peaches work well because "they will absorb the beautiful colors of the beverage," he says. If you can find them, try using some of each to make your peach sangria even more beautiful.

Never underestimate the power of a delicious, fruity salsa paired with a tantalizing cut of steak, pork, or fish. If you aren't a fan of a traditional salsa, like one jam-packed with spicy ingredients and hunks of acidic tomato pieces, you may want to try integrating some fresh peaches in your next batch.
