Fresh Summer Peaches!!!!

ECBG — Sat, 10 Jul 2021 01:41:46 GMT

I have been twice in 2 weeks for peaches.

I took a basket to the beach with our DS, DILove, and 2 younger grandsons.

The peaches were so sweet, the boys ate them with juice dripping over the railing.

A peach got too ripe and a bird fed her 2 young ones for several days.

I hope all of you have fresh items where you are.

Is anyone else eating peaches???

Oh I forgot to look for peaches when I was. shopping today! I picked up kiwis and honey crisp apples to add to the cherries and oranges at home.

Peaches next trip! I can just picture your boys enjoying those juicy drippy delicious peaches, the birds, too!

Colorado peaches from Noland Orchards coming in the end of this month.

Cunninghams peaches from Colorado usually are not here until Aug & Sept. Don't know why so late in the year?

We freeze a lot of them from Sept. We still have enough for 1 or 2 shakes left.

We generally buy 4-5 cases per season.

I would like another batch of homemade peach ice cream. YUM!!!

We just bought some from Costco today. The ones we get are from California, although my favorite peaches come from SC. We'll have to wait for a trip home to get those.

Isn't the smell wonderful! We go picking every year but they are not ready here yet. We pick and freeze to fill our freezer. My husband is back at where he grew up and has raspberries and currants that he freezes and bring back. He picks blueberries too. Yummy. The simple things are the best.

@ECBG When I was a kid, we had a couple of peach trees in our back yard. The peaches were great. I drink peach juice (instead of orange) every day.

@ECBG I live less than 1 mile from a huge peach grower in upstate SC. There are peach orchards all around me and earlier the strawberries were in. I take fresh (and I mean picked that morning) strawberries and peaches to our vet each year as a thank you for taking wonderful care of our furry children. Yes we are spoiled and soooo fortunate to live here. We so enjoy fresh fruit and veggies grown right next door. We appreciate every piece of fruit and share with the birds and other critters in our woods.

I live in the Peach State. Our peaches have been very good this year. Will be bringing some to family when we travel.

Love peaches!

In my area, the best ones come from Eckert's in Belleville, Illinois.

They should be ready any day now and I cannot wait!

Will be making my second batch of peach/blueberry crisp (or is it crumble? streusel topping) later today. The first was made for a family dinner/ dessert. It was devoured. I'm the only one who refrained from seconds, and these family members are fussy eaters! I think it was an extra special treat as they cook but don't bake.

Today's item will be enjoyed by me throughout the week. An OK splurge as I use sugar substitutes in my baking.

This week I think I will substitute peaches for strawberries to top my morning oatmeal, too.

A perfect peach is a thing to behold!

I have discovered that Trader Joes 5-pound box is the best way to go (here in LA County). They are alread just ripe enough to eat and are sweet and juicy.

The only problem is that there are only two of us! No worries; we eat them up.

The only peaches I really like are Red Haven and are available for about 3 weeks in August. Don't know why, but they appeal to my palate for just plain eating.

The peach ice cream is so good. Maybe if your DH ate some he would change his mind. Does not turn out so good from peaches from the grocery store are used with not much flavor.

The peaches we get from Co are so juicy & tasty.

I could eat a couple now but will have to wait until the end of the month.

Eating nectarines until I can get some good peaches.
