Singaporean J from the stunning food blog Kuidore points out in her post "How to Read a Peach":
"Eat me. Now. Sure, if you're lush and ripe. But faced with a mixed lot of varying ripeness, what's a girl to do but tamper with nature?"
After the break, J suggests what kind of recipe you should go for, according to the level of ripeness of your peaches and two dozen bloggers share their own perfect peachy ideas...
"The verging on over-ripe are ideal for ice-creams, sorbets, parfaits and mousses.
The young and firm-of-flesh, just this shade of under-ripe? The texture, a flaw when raw, becomes an asset when the peach is poached or roasted.
As for ripe peaches, they are ideal for jam-making."
