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. :D Which gets me thinking...ummmmm....peach ice cream. :p

So, that is what I am doing today. Peaches. :3_eyes:

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. :rolleyes:

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.

Don't you dare, you tramp. Keep that aspirin between your knees.

Peach eating contest?
Srsly though, I just eat them.... sometimes I cut them up first...

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

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

Death, where is thy sting?

Juniper, for one thing to do, try this dish made with peaches. Its the cats meow for a chicken meal! Its become one of my most favorite ways to eat chicken and is likely to be a hit with you and yours.

The recipe is on the back of all labels on bottles of Heinz Malt Vinegar and is called- Peachy Chicken. Nom Nom Nom.... ;)
