Peel the ripe peaches, add vanilla ice cream and some raspberry sauce or chocolate sauce for a nice dessert. You can make ice cream with them. But mostly, I just like to eat them as is...

A friend says he doesn't like duhats because of the mapakla taste. I think it's the aftertaste, when something you ate causes dryness, or leaves a roughness in the palate. Not necessarily a bad thing (otherwise we wouldn't eat those foods), but for some people a bit offputting.
