Desserts in Holladay
Holladay is a leafy town on the east side of the valley, with tall old trees and the mountains right behind it. Long before the neighborhoods, it was orchard country, and the city still tells the story of its fruit trees.
What Holladay loves
Peaches from the first orchards
Early settlers planted some of the valley's first peach trees here, so a warm peach cobbler is a fitting way to taste Holladay's history.
Apricot memories
Older residents remember the apricot orchards that once covered the area, and an apricot pie or jam from summer fruit is a nod to those days.
Cherry pie in July
Utah cherries ripen in July, and a cherry pie made with them is a high-summer treat across the valley.
