This season, we’re celebrating a sweet connection between East and West: a tribute to two American favorites that come together on a single skewer.

The Pride of Georgia: Peaches in Season

Georgia didn’t earn its “Peach State” title by accident. Our orchards, from Fort Valley to Gainesville, are legendary for peaches that are sun-ripened, full-bodied, and impossibly fragrant. With varieties like Red Haven and Elberta in peak season from May through August, there’s no better time to pick up a basket (or three) from a local farm stand.

Bite into one, and you get more than flavor—you get summer itself.

Utah Honey: Pure, Raw, and Remarkably Floral

Travel west to Utah—the Beehive State—and you’ll find honey that’s just as impressive. Thanks to high elevations, clean air, and abundant wildflowers, Utah honey has a depth and clarity that’s hard to beat.

The Honey Jar, a small-batch producer in Ogden, bottles raw, unfiltered honey straight from the hive. Their process preserves the delicate floral notes and beneficial enzymes that heat-processed honey often loses. Whether you’re drizzling it over toast or whisking it into dressings, Utah honey is a quiet showstopper.

🧑‍🍳 When Peaches and Honey Share the Plate

Bring the two together—Georgia peaches and Utah honey—and you get something surprisingly elegant: sweet, savory, creamy, and herbaceous all at once.

That’s the magic behind this simple recipe from Diane at My Curated Tastes. With just five ingredients and a few minutes of prep, it delivers a flavor punch worthy of a summer dinner party—or a quiet porch night at home.

  8. 🌿 Why It Works
  9. This recipe is all about balance. The juicy sweetness of ripe peach plays off the saltiness of cured prosciutto. Basil adds fresh, aromatic lift. Mozzarella softens everything with creaminess. And then—right at the end—honey ties it all together with golden sweetness and a little shimmer.
  10. Serve it cold, or lightly grill the peaches for extra depth. Either way, it’s a crowd-pleaser.
  11. 🎉 Serve It Up
  12. These skewers are ideal for:
  • Backyard BBQs
  • Bridal showers
  • Father’s Day spreads
  • Happy hours
  • Fancy-ish weekday snacks
  • Pair with sparkling rosé, peach iced tea, or a crisp Riesling. And if you’re feeling fancy, a honey-whipped ricotta dip on the side never hurts.
  • 💕 A Seasonal Recipe That Brings States Together
  • What we love about this dish isn’t just the taste—it’s what it represents. Seasonal ingredients. Local pride. Two regions, two flavors, one perfect pairing.
  • So the next time you’re at the farmer’s market, grab those peaches. Swing by The Honey Jar for a jar of Utah honey. Then invite a few friends over and let this sweet-and-savory skewer do the rest.
