Peaches in Guacamole?
Imagining how this would taste is very difficult.

Summer Peach Guacamole (from Gilttaste)
Serves 4-6, with chips
Ingredients
½ small white onion, finely chopped
1 green jalapeno chile, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
3 ripe Hass avocados, seeded and peeled
2 small ripe peaches
1 lime
Preparation
Crush the onion and chiles: Set a small pot of water to boil, and set up an ice water bath. Put the onion and chiles into the bottom of a molcajete, an ordinary mortar, or a bowl. Add the salt and crush to a paste. (If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, it may be easier to do this on a cutting board with the side of a knife.)
Peel the peaches: Put them into boiling water for about 10 seconds, then throw them in the ice water bath. The skins should come right off. Remove the pits and dice.
Mash: Put the avocados and peaches into the mortar with the peaches. Mash, leaving it all quite chunky.
Season: Finish mashing with a fork. Season to taste with the juice of half the lime. Taste. Add more lime juice and salt, if necessary. Serve immediately with tortilla or pita chips.

“If you have peaches and it was just all peaches and cream all the time it’d just be a dessert you dumbo!”
