Just Peachy!

I have lots of peaches. From my peach tree. Unfortunately they're little bitty peaches, not grocery-store size, which makes them a pain to process. Fortunately, they're yummy!

What would you do with tons of peaches? Just can them in syrup, make preserves, freeze them, dry them, etc.?

I may dry a few, I've got one of the cheap round dehydrators. I prefer canning to freezing because I need to save freezer space for ICE CREAM. Which gets me thinking...ummmmm....peach ice cream. :p

So, that is what I am doing today. Peaches.

Then maybe I'll get to the cherries, which I just stuck in bags in the freezer intending to get to them someday - fat lot of good they'll do me in a big frozen brick.

In a couple weeks there will be pears and apples, too. Oh well, since my garden went bust this year, at least I'll have something to fill up my pantry.

Peach is the fish of the land. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, peach kebabs, peach creole, peach gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple peach and lemon peach, coconut peach, pepper peach, peach soup, peach stew, peach salad, peach and potatoes, peach burger, peach sandwich... That's, that's about it.

Junie, in what part of Ohio are you?

Final result: 12 pints of canned peach preserves, 2 pints of frozen peach pie filling. Yum!

Love that stupid song!

If I had peaches, I'd be putting them in the homemade yogurt.
