If you all have not already noticed, I have a slight thing for anything peach!  I am not positive where my infatuation originated or if my southern Georgia roots are to blame, but I do know if peach is an option, it will win my vote!

This recipe is super easy and works wonders for summer barbecues and gatherings.  It is the perfect addition for your upcoming Labor Day plans.  Enjoy!
