Make the most of the waning days of summer by hosting a backyard barbecue to celebrate Labor Day. Kick off the evening with a pitcher of spicy cocktails, made from gin infused with fresh chiles and cucumber. Next, juicy burgers stuffed with cheddar cheese are accompanied by two salads that take advantage of in-season produce. Cap off the evening with a freshly baked peach pie, that quintessential summer dessert that takes advantage of the last of the season's stone fruit harvest.
